RedisResult - method to get the Type

[ghost]

Mark I've converted a BookSleeve project to SE.redis - so far so good. I use Lua scripts. One minor thing I ran into was a couple of my scripts return different types depending on inputs - e.g., a script that might return an int, null or byte[]. With BookSleeve's Eval, you could use is semantics - e.g., if (ret is Int64). With RedisResult, you wrap the returned object within the internals of the class with cast operators. So the only way I can distinguish is to cast and deal with InvalidCastException (although you do have an IsNull property). Would you consider adding some sort of Is(Type) function of something along those lines?

That makes absolute sense. I'll take a look.
