Object cache utility functions

[tillkruss]

WP VIP has several wrappers for core functions that are cached, should we adopt some?

Thanks! I'm sure we can clean up this ramble if thoughts into something cohesive :)

I don't see a need in core itself for a fancy vip_safe_wp_remote_request equivalent that does things like caching and exponential backoff etc. And for plugins and projects, the requirements will always be very different, so it's impossible to create a one-size-fits-all solution. I'd recommend building something in a library first or something. And for proposing something in core, Trac is the right place.
