Is it possible to clear "hit for pass" objects without restarting? Is
there any TTL for "hit for pass" objects? I'd like a short "hit for
pass" timeout value, I think.

If an object is passed in vcl_fetch due to being !beresp.cacheable, it's
nice to have the object cached one you have removed the obstacles to
have that URL cached. After all, we often do want to cache even though
web developers do mistakes.
