Comment:

 Patch added. Tested and this allows the reduction of unnecessary queries
 like so.

 This is how it can be used.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( ! valid_transient( 'testing' ) ) {
         $value = 'value';
         set_transient( 'testing', $value, 60 );
 } else {
         $value = get_transient( 'testing' );
 }
 }}}

 This becomes more useful when useful when using transients for timers &
 such.
