Make nest depends on Redic instead of Redis about nest

Good idea, I will explore it in the next few days.

Right now nest is calling redis with an extra &block argument (L33):

redis.send(meth, self, *args, &block)

Passed block redis uses in some methods, e.g. subscribe in redis.rb:

 def subscribe(*channels, &block)
    synchronize do |client|
      _subscription(:subscribe, channels, block)
    end
  end

In this case &block is called asynchronously, which is not supported in redic. In order to maintain same functionality in nest we would have to implement methods like subscribe , psubscribe, scan_each, hscan_each, etc. Or extend redic to support this, but it might be against the design principle of redic.

What do you think?

How are you using Nest? I just checked that Ohm 1.4.x uses Nest 1.x, so we can make Nest use Redic and release it as 2.0, breaking any compatibility if necessary. What do you think about that?

Sounds like a good idea. I'm using Nest along with Ohm 2.2.

Done, it is available in Nest 2.0.0. Thanks!
