Slightly different. Scoping could be useful for use cases where creating a cache per scope is too expensive. E.g., I want to cache a person's name, address and photograph. I could do this:

cache.put("person1_name", name);

cache.put("person1_address", address);

cache.put("person1_pic", pic);

cache.put("person2_name", name);

cache.put("person2_address", address);

cache.put("person2_pic", pic);

cache.put("person3_name", name);

cache.put("person3_address", address);

cache.put("person3_pic", pic);

and every time I need to retrieve anything I need to concatenate person_id with the "field" I am interested in. It would be too expensive to create a separate cache per person, as the system may have thousands of users.
