Where are those "consumption loops"? I do not see any in your examples.

That doesn't look any different, control-flow wise, than implementing 
IBasicConsumer (or sub-classing DefaultConsumer) and then passing that 
instance to BasicConsume. In fact EventBasicConsumer is just a rather 
trivial sub-class of DefaultConsumer - there's no threading/async magic 
in it.
