Move `member` from the set at `source` to the set at `destination`.
This operation is atomic.
In every given moment the element will appear to be a member of `source` **or**
`destination` for other clients.

If the source set does not exist or does not contain the specified element, no
operation is performed and `0` is returned.
Otherwise, the element is removed from the source set and added to the
destination set.
When the specified element already exists in the destination set, it is only
removed from the source set.

## Required arguments

<details open><summary><code>source</code></summary>

The key of the source set.

</details>

<details open><summary><code>destination</code></summary>

The key of the destination set.

</details>

<details open><summary><code>member</code></summary>

The member to move from the source set to the destination set.

</details>
