[rabbitmq-discuss] .Net Client: Why is a channel called a model?

The .NET client was developed after the Java client, and I think around 
the time AMQP 0-10 (which is quite different to 0-8 and 0-9-1) was being 
discussed. In these circumstances it received a more generic treatment 
than its Java predecessor. There's no hidden meaning to it.
