We now have a base test case class for Predis (namely PredisTestCase)
grouping various commonly used utility methods shared by all of the
tests in the suite, greatly improving reusability.
Using list() with the warning suppressor is slower than using isset()
to check the presence of the first two elements of the array returned
by explode(). This also allow us to skip incomplete query string pairs
when parsing the URI string.
We have also changed the exception being thrown on invalid URIs to a
more appropriate one.
Supporting this feature has been problematic and leaded to some ugly
code to make abstractions such as pipelines and transactions aware of
these kind of response objects. Furthermore, it was not possible to
add them to all the connection classes due to implementation limits.
For such reasons Predis do not support them globally anymore, but the
actual classes are still shipped within the library so that they can
be used to build custom stuff at a level lower than client (that is,
unless we decide to remove them for good before going stable).
