`sendToRenderers` acts differently than `callRenderer`OpenIssue

From documentation I expected that these two functions act the same. Only expected difference was sending to specific window and sending to . After digging deeper I found that does not use the same channel formatting as the other method, so it is impossible to handle incoming messages using . I have two possible solutions: 1. Exposing additional function in to handle unchanged channel. 2. Formatting channel in for every window. @sindresorhus which one would you prefer?
