A few notes on its design:

Synchronous and Asynchronous support.

TCP and Unix Socket protocols.

A half dozen or so different hash algorithms .

Implementations of the new cas, replace, and append operators.

Man pages written up on entire API.

Implements both modulo and consistent hashing solutions.
It also implements several command line tools:

memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output
memflush - Flush the contents of your servers.
memrm - Remove a key(s) from the serrver.
memcp - Copy files to a memached server.
memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output
memslap - Generate testing loads on a memcached cluster
