I would think that they already do what you are aiming for, having a list of what is the content of the cache, opposed to a list of what can be cached. In fact, they need to record a bit more than just the block number, such as when was the block last used (timestamp) etc. etc.

But I am with you: An optimized memory model would be helpful to increase e.g. the size of the cache itself. I for instance want to enable caches larger then 2 TByte in size by using bigger SSDs. Right now its limited to less then 2 TByte in size.

Just do what dhonn suggested and have it sorted once and for all. EliteBytes Velo thing has nearly no overhead at all so it's definitely possible.
