I'm having trouble finding an answer to a question:
Is it possible to execute arbitrary command using phpredis without using lua eval with 'redis.call'?

I'd like to be able to run stuff such as 'client list' using PHP with phpredis, but so far I've only found the lua trick. However that only works with redis 2.6+ and... well, it's just such a lame trick.

If there is no way to do it other way, perhaps you could add something like $redis->command('client list') to some future version of phpredis?
