// How to mix and match supported commands that have named functions with
// commands sent as arbitrary strings in the same transaction context.
// Use this when working with new Redis commands that haven't been added to
// node-redis yet, or when working with commands that have been added to Redis
// by modules other than those directly supported by node-redis.

]);
// Outside of a transaction, use sendCommand to send arbitrary commands.
