Description
inFlight key is created in jesque_pop.lua and removed just after task was processed.
As far as I understand , this functionality is used to prevent task loss in case worker failure occurs between pop operation and task execution (which is great :-)
If that's the case, my question is why this functionality is supported only when queueType == 'list'?
I would like to add this functionality for queueType == 'zset' and also for RESET_TO_HIGHEST_PRIORITY next queue strategy.

Research direction
Start by reading jesque_pop.lua and tracing how inFlight keys are created and removed for list queues. Compare that flow with zset queues and the RESET_TO_HIGHEST_PRIORITY next-queue strategy; the work is complete when task-loss protection is supported for both requested cases without changing existing list behavior.
