This is like more advanced, on a higher level. I imagine if you plan
to add some interaction to Basemap, it would be fantastic, to say at
least.

While reading Google patent you linked the other day, I came also to
this link: http://www.maptiler.org/google-maps-coordinates-tile-bounds-projection
It was mentioned as a advanced feature to some server providing WMS capabilities

Also, already mentioned GIS webservices IMHO provide interface to
their caching/tiling mechanisms, but if there is backend to hold this
feature in MPL/Basemap I have no idea.
