 Since both get_transient and get_option already have built in ways to
 handle object caching, i think it would be reasonable to add the force
 parameter and pass it through to wp_cache_get.

 I imagine having the default parameter set to false. This shouldn't break
 anything but give developers better control in cases where the cache is
 being updated while in a request lifecycle.

 I stumbled across this when using persistent object caching:
 https://github.com/rhubarbgroup/redis-cache/issues/523

 Other users are also missing this option:
 https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/100040/can-i-force-get-
 option-to-go-back-to-the-db-instead-of-cache

 If this is something worth considering, I would happily provide a patch.
