Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to get the ID of the task currently being processed in the handler's callback function.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding our own ID to the task object and getting it through the payload.

Additional context
I would like to reference the resource (task) generated for logging purposes. Currently, the Task interface only exposes Type() string and Payload() []byte.

Does GetTaskID solves your problem?

func HandleEmailDeliveryTask(ctx context.Context, t *asynq.Task) error {
    id, ok := GetTaskID(ctx)
    return nil
}

@crossworth commented on GitHub (Aug 20, 2021): Does [`GetTaskID`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hibiken/asynq?utm_source=godoc#GetTaskID) solves your problem? ```go func HandleEmailDeliveryTask(ctx context.Context, t *asynq.Task) error { id, ok := GetTaskID(ctx) return nil } ```
