Right.  But unless the is_set_ok function modifies some state, you

This is correct.

However, there is an (undocumented) feature you can use to change this
behaviour.  Which SET transaction mechanism to use is configurable -
you can write your own set mechanism if you don't like the default
one.  Check the code for details.
