how to override decode_responses on a client instance when using a shared ConnectionPool

[gshmu]

I'm opening this issue not to report a bug, but to suggest a documentation improvement based on a common point of confusion for users, including myself.

import redis

pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=6379, db=0, decode_responses=True)

r_bytes = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool, decode_responses=False)
key = 'my_binary_data'
poison_value = b'data-\x80-bytes'
r_bytes.set(key, poison_value)

r_bytes.get(key)

Hi @gshmu, when you provide a connection_pool, many configurations should be set on the pool itself—adding them to the client arguments won’t have any effect.
Could you please elaborate a bit more on your suggestion? Is this example taken from any published documentation? Also, which documentation did you refer to when looking for examples?
