The reply queues should get destroyed once a caller gives up waiting for
a response, so messages shouldn't be able to just sit in a queue forever.

I do see your point in just tagging responses with an ID for the call
they are associated with.  I guess I was only thinking about the way
responses are formatted right now, which is just a raw return value and
the queue it shows up in was the request ID.  Seems like it should work ...
