+PUBLISHER CONFIRMS
+===================
+
+RabbitMQ supports lightweight method of confirming that broker received and processed
+a message. For this method to work, the channel needs to be put in so-called _confirm mode_.
+This is done using confirmSelect() method. When channel is successfully put in 
+confirm mode, the server and client count messages (starting from 1) and server sends
+acknowledgments for every message it processed (it can also acknowledge multiple message at
+once). 
+
+If server is unable to process a message, it will send send negative acknowledgments. Both 
+positive and negative acknowledgments handling are implemented as callbacks for Channel object.
+
+````c++
+// setup confirm mode and ack/nack callbacks
+channel.confirmSelect().onSuccess([&]() {
+    // from this moment onwards ack/nack confirmations are comming in
+
+    channel.publish("my-exchange", "my-key", "my first message");
+    // message counter is now 1, will call onAck/onNack with deliverTag=1
+
+    channel.publish("my-exchange", "my-key", "my second message");
+    // message counter is now 2, will call onAck/onNack with deliverTag=2
+
+}).onAck([&](uint64_t deliverTag, bool multiple) {
+    // deliverTag is message number
+    // multiple is set to true, if all messages UP TO deliverTag have been processed
+}).onNack([&](uint64 deliveryTag, bool multiple, bool requeue) {
+    // deliverTag is message number
+    // multiple is set to true, if all messages UP TO deliverTag have not been processed
+    // requeue is to be ignored
+});
