Description
Looking at the supported kinds of Condition for use with transactions, I was surprised there is not a way to compare two Redis values numerically (greater than, less than, etc.). The Redis "string" type is often used to represent numeric counters (as indicated by the INCR/DECR commands).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the supported kinds of Condition for transactions and Redis's INCR/DECR counter semantics. Define what numeric greater-than and less-than comparisons should cover, then verify that the resulting transaction conditions behave correctly for Redis string values representing counters.
