Sound reasonable. Would allow for a large cache for large downloaded
objects without exploding in memory usage due to a huge number of small
objects being cached..

Correct, but patches (to Squid-3) implementing this would be accepted.

min-size option.

no harder than max-size.

for both there will be some objects which are uncertain (where the full
object size is not known before the complete object has been downloaded).
