/**
 *
 *  Messenger defines a high level interface for sending and receiving
 *  messages. Every Messenger contains a single logical queue of
 *  incoming messages and a single logical queue of outgoing
 *  messages. These messages in these queues may be destined for, or
 *  originate from, a variety of addresses.
 *
 *  <h3>Address Syntax</h3>
 *
 *  An address has the following form:
 *
 *    [ amqp[s]:// ] [user[:password]@] domain [/[name]]
 *
 *  Where domain can be one of:
 *
 *    host | host:port | ip | ip:port | name
 *
 *  The following are valid examples of addresses:
 *
 *   - example.org
 *   - example.org:1234
 *   - amqp://example.org
 *   - amqps://example.org
 *   - example.org/incoming
 *   - amqps://example.org/outgoing
 *   - amqps://fred:trustno1@example.org
 *   - 127.0.0.1:1234
 *   - amqps://127.0.0.1:1234
 *
 *  <h3>Sending &amp; Receiving Messages</h3>
 *
 *  The Messenger interface works in conjuction with the Message
 *  class. The Message class is a mutable holder of message content.
 *  The put method will encode the content in a given Message object
 *  into the outgoing message queue leaving that Message object free
 *  to be modified or discarded without having any impact on the
 *  content in the outgoing queue.
 *
 *  Similarly, the get method will decode the content in the incoming
 *  message queue into the supplied Message object.
