The adapter settings array should be documented for each adapter to indicate what kind of settings each adapter expects and what format they should be in

The class naming scheme should be compatible with PSR-0 (https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-0.md); following these established conventions would make it much easier to integrate this library into a project since it avoids name collision issues and can be easily auto-loaded (instead of having to have a custom auto-loader or require_once).

It would be nice to have SQLite support as a cache back-end. It doesn't need an actually database server, and can use a persistent in-memory store (example: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-sqlite.connection.php#105350), making it a nice alternative when APC and the like are absent.

DiskAdapter should take the full path to the cache file instead of just the filename and defaulting to the same directory as the library.

The absence of unit tests make it difficult to modify the source code, since there is no easy way of checking if the new changes break other stuff.

Objects need to be serialized and deserialized on get and set

Caching class should return a result object not the actual value itself. This would allow for things like a hash of the object and other metadata

The tests for this library kinda suck. They need to be completely rewritten from the ground up

It would be nice to have support for an optional cache validation mechanism, instead of having to rely on a fixed TTL. For example, a cache item's validity might depend on the modified time stamp of a file, or a modified datetime column in the database.

Supporting composer (https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) would make it easier to integrate this library into a project.

Documentation should be done using docblocks
