Support SET with GET

[lucasmaj]

https://redis.io/commands/set supports (since version 7.0) the NX and GET options to be used together. I am just trying to "get, and if doesn't exist then set, return final". Is it possible to accomplish with one call? What are my options? Thanks!

Since SE.Redis offers a guided API (i.e. it isn't just one method "call" that you use raw redis commands with), any API additions require someone to: 1. know that the new API exists 2. design a suitable API surface for the new functionality (i.e. "we'll create a new method called StringGetSet (naming is hard) that takes a key and (...)" 3. implement that API for both sync and async as appropriate 4. add suitable tests 5. add documentation / release notes 6. (ongoing support) So; right now, we're at step 1. If you want to contribute any time towards the other steps, I'm happy to offer guidance, and PRs are open - or it'll have to wait on our availability. As an interim step: there *is* an Execute API for ad-hoc redis operations, that would allow you do get things done today.

This was implemented in #2003 - it'll be in the 2.5 release :)
