Description:
------------
When apc.stat=0, the only way to refresh cache entries is to restart Apache or clear the entire cache with apc_clear_cache().  I would like a mechanism to clear specific entries of the cache.

apc_compile_file() does not work as expected also.


Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a

Expected result:
----------------
I expected apc_compile_file() to enable me to achieve a similar result - by forcing an entry to be refreshed.  But apc_compile_file() does nothing to an existing cache entry if apc.stat=0.

While that feature would be nice - this is not the ideal solution.  A new API call to remove an entry in the cache would be better.  But if this is too difficult to implement - forcing a refresh with apc_compile_file() would work too, and should be an easy change.

Actual result:
--------------
The reason to include such a feature is to leverage APC for data-storage.  Example : you want a simple mapping of UserId to Username, and you have a lot of users.  You want a lookup to be fast - so rather than incorporating a database, or reading a large serialized structure ... store the data as PHP code and use APC to cache it.  Since the data does not change often, you also want to turn off apc.stat to improve performance even more.

When the data is changed though, you need to clear the cache entry.  While forcing a refresh works, if you change the cache multiple times between accessing it - you are unnecessarily updating it more than you need to.
