Comment (by Mike Edmunds):
From [https://github.com/django/django/pull/20641#issuecomment-3905712951
discussion on GitHub], if this is still a problem we could try to address
it in the cache docs:
* Note that the default key function has the (potentially surprising)
behavior of treating `42` and `"42"` as equivalent cache keys.
* Suggest using a custom KEY_FUNCTION if that default behavior causes
problems, and show Dan Stephenson's approach from comment:15 (that
includes the key type) as an example.
(If there's interest in that change, it might be easiest to handle it as a
new Documentation ticket that references this one.)
