+*   Add `id` option to redis adapter so now you can distinguish
+    ActionCable's redis connections among others. Also, you can set
+    custom id in options.
+
+    Before:
+    ```
+    $ redis-cli client list
+    id=669 addr=127.0.0.1:46442 fd=8 name= age=18 ...
+    ```
+
+    After:
+    ```
+    $ redis-cli client list
+    id=673 addr=127.0.0.1:46516 fd=8 name=ActionCable-PID-19413 age=2 ...
+    ```
