For example, class QueueingConsumer encapsulates just such
functionality:
http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-java-client/v1.4.0/rabbitmq-java-client-javadoc-1.4.0/com/rabbitmq/client/QueueingConsumer.html

For an example of its usage (we should put one in the API as well),
please see class LogTail in the examples bundled with the client.
