 In [82be474
 
https://github.com/django/django/commit/82be474efa81e5f2e127d711045a2ec06b206a8e]
 the change was made to allow None as a default value passed to
 BaseCache.get_or_set. In case the default value of None is used, it is not
 stored in the cache. This still left open the possibility that default
 could
 be a callable that returns None, in which case it would be stored in the
 cache.

 {{{
 # This scenario works as expected.
 cache.get_or_set('foo', None)  # None
 cache.get_or_set('foo', 5)  # 5
 cache.get('foo')  # 5

 # This scenario seems wrong.
 cache.get_or_set('bar', lambda: None)  # None
 cache.get_or_set('bar', 5)  # None :(
 cache.get('bar')  # None :(
 }}}
