Redis [QUESTION] Why does SSET not exist (DEL + SADD)? Or is there a different way to do this?

I believe the correct (maybe only) way to currently add a list of members to a set, overwriting the key if it exists (rather than adding to it), is to first DEL the key and then SADD the members? Is there a better way?

I suggest a new command: SSET

What would be the purpose of SSET, and how would it differ from SADD, since elements in a set are unique? (SADD with a pre-existing value doesn't change the set contents, with the return value indicating this)

Oh, I see, you want to empty the set completely and add a single element. Yeah, that doesn't need a bespoke command - DEL plus SADD is fine. There isn't a "only this" for the other aggregate types (hashes, lists, etc) either.

We don't add new commands easily, otherwise this will be an endless works. Generally we recommend using script and the like to complete these command combinations.
