The getMatching API has nothing to do with the colon convention.
The getMatching API allows you to use string pattern matching to retrieve
items. Your keys have to be strings to use it. It even works with the JBDC
disk cache, if you only use patterns that can be converted into like queries.
The colon convention simply allows you to remove items with string keys that
match the substring.
I suppose we need a removeMatching method as well.
