Description

It could be named something like cache.clearExcept, and would accept an array of keys to preserve.

This would allow resetting the cache easily while keeping some important data, e.g. login credentials.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing cache API methods, then implement a 'clearExcept' method that accepts an array of keys to preserve, clearing all other entries.
