As said in the original post, I think receiveOnly() is the most
intuitive API. I just think that one should be named receive(), and
perhaps receive() may be renamed receiveMulti(). Surely that would be
more intuitive to more people?

Names will not change.

Also both Only and Multi varieties should have a Timeout version, and I
would love to see a poll()/pollMulti() function.

This is sensible. You may want to add functions through pull requests, 
or make enhancement requests on bugzilla.


Thanks,
