The ability to store your own data in the APC cache is a feature that
does get used a lot in the Symfony framework world because of the
availability of the sfAPCCache and whatever its Symfony 2 equivalent

or some other external cache yet. I'm not sure whether this is
something you consider a "legacy feature."
