/*
Each peer has one `MConnection` (multiplex connection) instance.

__multiplex__ *noun* a system or signal involving simultaneous transmission of
several messages along a single channel of communication.

Each `MConnection` handles message transmission on multiple abstract communication
`Channel`s.  Each channel has a globally unique byte id.
The byte id and the relative priorities of each `Channel` are configured upon
initialization of the connection.

There are two methods for sending messages:
	func (m MConnection) Send(chID byte, msgBytes []byte) bool {}
	func (m MConnection) TrySend(chID byte, msgBytes []byte}) bool {}

`Send(chID, msgBytes)` is a blocking call that waits until `msg` is
successfully queued for the channel with the given id byte `chID`, or until the
request times out.  The message `msg` is serialized using Go-Amino.

`TrySend(chID, msgBytes)` is a nonblocking call that returns false if the
channel's queue is full.

Inbound message bytes are handled with an onReceive callback function.
