[Opa] Network.channel

[Adam Koprowski]

  Dear Mads,

  I'm not sure what you mean with Network creating singleton instances. On
the contrary: multiple calls to Network.empty() will create different
networks. Network.cloud(id) is supposed to create networks identified by
keys, so if you create networks with the same id on different servers
they'll be shared between the servers instead of creating two separate
networks (as long as you're using one server only, Network.cloud is not very
interesting)...
  So for creating ad-hoc networks just use Network.empy() or
Network.cloud(id) to share them between multiple servers.
  I suggest maybe you tell us a bit more about what you are trying to
achieve and then maybe we'll be able to better point you in the good
directions. Also I'll try to write a blog post about Sessions/Networks
(which are very important building blocks in Opa) within the next couple of
days, which should hopefully clarify things.

  Best,
  Adam
