Description
Hello,
I'm using opentelemetry-instrumentation-redis in my system to collect traces from Redis. I would like the traces to include info about the key, as I use Redis in different ways throughout the system and I'd like to be able to differentiate between them when viewing my traces. I saw the work you made on sanitizing the db.statement by default here and here.
Is there a way that I can bypass this sanitization or provide my own sanitization function (so I would sanitize the value but not the key)? I didn't find any reference for that in the code or the docs.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with opentelemetry-instrumentation-redis and the sanitization discussion in issue 1755 and pull request 1776. Check how db.statement is sanitized and whether the existing documentation or code exposes configuration for bypassing it or supplying a custom sanitizer. Done means users can preserve or customize key information while retaining control over value sanitization.
