Indeed... I looked through the official TODO list and was unable

"in-memory" tables- they can simply be handled with a ram disk.)
Not exactly what you're looking for and a simple API, but the
performance is very nice and has a lot of potential.

I would like to use transactional semantics over tables that can
disappear whenever the server fails. memcached does not offer that.
