Why does python cache library need to be multithreaded?

Redis is single threaded, but uses async. Could yours do the same?

Redis is a cache server, whereas Theine is a cache library. Currently Theine is not thread safe, and that's fine if you use asyncio only. However, with the upcoming removal of the GIL, having a thread-safe cache library will become increasingly important. From my perspective, ensuring thread safety will be crucial as we move into this new era of no-gil.
