* Encode a Redis command.
*
* NOTE: 'cmd' and 'key' arguments should be strings, however,
* for convenience, 'key' is converted to String before encoding,
* then you can use Numbers for keys without problems.
*
* It returns an hash:
* {
* bulks : Number
* , cmd : String
* , ecmd : String | Buffer ( RESTORE cmd )
* , fn : Function
* , zn : Function
* }
*/
Sermone#encode( String cmd [, Function fn [, Function zn ] ] ) : Object
