Noted.

I believe something like this would be something layered on top of the
protocol library, and not necessarily baked into the library itself. As to
whether you should go this direction, I would imagine it depends on the
requirements for whatever you're doing.

purpose in my eyes is to give an easy interface to using rabbitmq-c from
C++, so it will continue to develop SimpleAmqpClient to support the various
bits of functionality that rabbitmq-c supports.  A libuv-based library will
likely be developed under a different library name, whether or not the
functionality gets rolled back into an existing library is TBD.  Will this
happen in 6 months? I have no idea - it depends on how much free time I
have to work on these kinds of projects.
