Is there an equivalent of the mongo addToSet command in rethinkdb?

Say I have a users table with an embedded followers array property.

{
  "followers": [
    "bar"
   ] ,
  "name":  "foo" ,
}

In rethinkDb, what's the best way to add a username to that followers property. i.e. add a follower to a user.

In mongodb I would use the addToSet command to add a unique value to the embedded array. Should I use the merge command?

RethinkDB has a setInsert command. You can write table.get(ID).update({followers: r.row('followers').setInsert(FOLLOWER)}).
