Description

It can be quite useful when dealing with complex caching/locking systems or simply for logging purposes.

Memcache clients already returns this value and it should be straigtforward to implement for file, inmemory, and database backend based on the number of returned rows.

Redis del operation also returns the number of keys it successfully deleted so it should be implementable if it's eventually added as discussed on the mailing list.

Seems fair yes. (An individual backend could note that this wasn't supported, if that were necessary.)
