Is it possible to have `acquire` wait forever #27

I would like a Mutex that may possibly wait forever, is this possible?

TBH, I'm not sure. You could try setting the timeout to Infinity. The timeout value is just passed along to redis as is, so it depends on what the redis lib supports, and what it sends to the redis server itself. Sorry I don't have a better answer. You'll just have to try it. It would be great if you can report back with your findings.
