This looks good. I reckon your core design is sound.

Some things I spotted:

* I don't see the need for routing requests through the rabbit
application process

* The channel processes appear to be pointing to the same process for
both reader and writer. That is useful for the common case of RPC-style
interactions but you also need to support a subscription model along the
lines of the Consumer classes in the Java client.

Overall this is impressive work. Keep us posted on your progress.

Matthias.
