It may be worth mentioning that the eval block, i.e., eval $foo { ...
}, actually creates a temporary location for our memcached_pass
settings.  An example of the temporary location looks like
"/eval_136351308". So using the $uri variable to set the memcached key
won't work here because $uri evaluates to the URL of the current
(sub)request.

Even $request_uri does not actually evaluates to the (unparsed form
of) main request's URI due to a "bug" in ngx_http_subrequest which
simply passes the parent request's r->unparsed_uri directly to the
newly-created subrequest's unparsed_uri field. So we're actually using
a "bug" as a "feature" here ;)
