rabbitmq-c doesn't synchronize use of any part of the connection. Using a
rabbitmq-c object from multiple threads requires external synchronization.
Additionally if you want to consume messages in one thread while executing
other AMQP methods in another using the same connection there is some
knowledge of the AMQP protocol required in order not to transmit a method
at inappropriate moment between frames.
