ATM Rabbit does not support rejections, this is currently on the todo list.

When using the current implementation (i.e. using a thread per channel
and multiplexing across a single socket connection), this does seem
the way to go.

However, there is some discussion as to whether one should multiplex
within a single socket connection or whether one should use multiple
sockets to send independent streams of data.

Having said this, it still remains in the remit of the client library
as to whether you assign a thread per channel, a thread per connection
or a process per connection, so you might have a point with the
threading aspect.
