ASKING is not documented

[hubo1016]

http://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec says that there should be an "asking" command when client is redirected by -ASK. But the command does not appear in commands document. Neither do the reference implementation implements the command.

1. Is the command still not implemented?
2. If the command is designed, what is the scope of "ASKING"? When will the asking status be cleared? Should there be a "NOTASKING" command?

The command does seem to be implemented on the server:

127.0.0.1:6379> FOOBAR
(error) ERR unknown command 'FOOBAR'
127.0.0.1:6379> ASKING
(error) ERR This instance has cluster support disabled
127.0.0.1:6379> RESTORE-ASKING
(error) ERR wrong number of arguments for 'restore-asking' command

The REPL even hints that it accepts an argument. But, yeah, it's definitely undocumented. A similar RESTORE-ASKING command, seemingly the only command with a hyphen in the first clause, also exists.

Yep, these and other commands are missing the documentation. Here's an open issue about it: https://github.com/antirez/redis-doc/issues/974
