Implementing Garbage Collection in Cache Module Due to Lack of TimeToLive Retrieval

HI! I am thinking about garbage collection implementation for

Cache

Cache

module. Currently there is no way to retrieve

timeToLive

timeToLive

property for each entry from publicly accessible interfaces:

Cache

Cache

and

ConsumerCache

ConsumerCache

. I couldn't figure out a better solution rather than just to store

timeToLive

timeToLive

property altogether with the entry value. Why there is no native garbage collection? Isn't it a big deal to store stale entries endlessly?
