After a value is extracted, it cannot be replaced with another value using

to replace it will result in a :class:`artiq.coredevice.exceptions.CacheError`.
If the cache does not contain any value associated with ``key``, an empty list
is returned.
The value is not copied, so mutating it will change what's stored in the cache.
