Nginx Is it possible to get Xenforo to use Nginx memcached module?

Xenforo support Memcache, but the way it currently works, the request comes into Nginx, then Nginx spawns PHP process via PHP-FPM, then that PHP process talks to Memcache.

However, Nginx has a built-in Memcached module, so theoretically, it's possible to cut out the PHP process middleman.

Does anyone know if this is possible for Xenforo?

I know on Wordpress it's possible using the WP-FPPC cache... when set to use NginxMemcached as a backend, it's going to be faster than WP-Supercache which skips the PHP process, but is slowed down by caching to disk rather than caching to memory.
