Description
Something like:
cache.settings({
removalStrategy: "least-matched"
});
…where the developer can allow the browser to auto-delete items from the cache based on some kind of strategy.
Apologies for the really rough idea, just wanted to add something before I forgot 😄

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by reading the existing Cache API and Service Worker cleanup behavior. Clarify the removal strategies, opt-in semantics, and specification scope before identifying the tests and documentation that would need updating. Done means an agreed, testable browser-facing proposal.
