Comment:
This behavior is consistent with other backends and is
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/cache/#django.core.cache.cache.clear
documented] so it's not a bug:
> ''"Be careful with this; clear() will remove **everything** from the
cache, not just the keys set by your application"''
We agreed in #33012 to keep the builtin Redis backend minimal and
consistent with other backends. It looks like you should use `django-
redis` for your use case.
