I would argue that if a client calls RequestChannel on the CM directly, that's
also an outgoing channel. Does this mean we should ignore the
suppress_handler parameter to RequestChannel, treat it as if it was
always TRUE, and rename the suppress_handler argument of NewChannel to
"outgoing" or "we_started_it" or something? I think it might.
