Description

It would be helpful if the value for expires in BaseCache.set was documented. I couldn't find it and the redis/file caches aren't explicit.

Is the expires value guaranteed to be in UTC?

Research direction

Start at the BaseCache.set entry point and inspect how the redis and file caches handle the expires value. Document what expires means and whether it is guaranteed to be in UTC; done means the BaseCache API documentation answers these questions consistently with both cache implementations.
