We have these in the StoreID part of the docs since there is no chance
of doing a refresh_pattern on StoreID without understanding the concept.
If and only if you understand the meaning of StoreID you could cache
objects efficiently.

To see the changes in the code alone could not provide the whole picture
I had when thinking about the feature.

For testing purposes you test a real world scenario.
I know of couple methods of testing it but still From my point of view
the best way is to test it in the level of headers + wget.
browser may convince you that you are not caching enough so just ignore
these browsers and use:
wget
curl
scripts

http://redbot.org/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww1.ngtech.co.il%2F

The above are a set of tools which provides you a lot.
also notice the debug_options ALL,2 will help a lot also.

I just saw a small probably bug that you need to state the maximum
object size of cache_dir object per cache_dir so try these on the way??
