Description
As discussed in https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/UbD1DkV1uPo and https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11269 it would be useful to be able to specify a callable which would allow for more dynamic caching. In my case, I need to cache differently depending on whether the user is authenticated or not. Another scenario is to cache certain pages depending on some timestamp. Other uses cases were mentioned in the linked pages.
There exists https://github.com/peterbe/django-fancy-cache but I was able to address this by extending the built-in middleware so I really don't see an argument for a 3rd party package.
I'll try to open a PR for this.
