Could be a lot of value in adding an optional `id` field to the request. This would then be return in the response, allowing for things to be matched up in interesting use cases.

The current general pattern is to make a request and then to put the reply into a unique queue so the client can check on the result. This is good for synchronous checks, but what if we just want to fire off 100 checks and put _all_ of the results in a _single_ queue to be consumed later? The request id might come in handy.

Other meta data would likely include timestamps around the request being made, processed, and result placed back in the queue.
