By making it so that their receiving functions take unique types. If need be, you can declare types specific to the channel of communication that you're trying to create.

That doesn't mean that it's unreasonable, but I think that it was always the idea that a particular thread had a particular job, in which case, you wouldn't generally be trying to send messages to different parts of the thread. - Jonathan M Davis
