Might be. I think it is easy to grasp though, and can have
significant benefits for clients that know all the key set they will
manipulate in one session.
But the keys retrieved could still be wiped out.
1. start tx
2. retrieve(k1, k2, k3)
3. // go make coffee; other processes changing stuff, which removes
keys from the L1, negating the effect of step 2
4. replace(k1, v1) // will return incorrect retval. Or will need to
do a remote get again at this point
5. end tx
