Correct, but it permits it.

The alternative is to avoid use of the *_simple_* methods, including
amqp_simple_wait_frame, and to read bytes yourself in whatever way you see
fit (e.g. using libevent or raw select plus nonblocking sockets) and pass
those bytes to amqp_handle_input. You'll need to do the connection opening
and tuning yourself, but once that's done you're golden.
