Hmmm, that seems to work exactly like out default and named caches do. 
The default being the * one and the named cache the VirtualCache. Now, 
the thing that would be different is if they allow things like:

  <cache-mapping>
    <cache-name>Replicated*</cache-name>
    <scheme-name>default-replicated</scheme-name>
  </cache-mapping>

And so, CacheFactory.getCache("Replicated1") and 
CacheFactory.getCache("Replicated2") would return "default-replicated".
