A channel layer implementing the ``twisted`` extension must also provide:
* ``receive_many_twisted(channels)``, a function that behaves
like ``receive_many`` but that returns a Twisted Deferred that eventually
returns either ``(channel, message)`` or ``(None, None)``. It is not possible
to run it in nonblocking mode; use the normal ``receive_many`` for that.
A channel layer implementing the ``asyncio`` extension must also provide:
* ``receive_many_asyncio(channels)``, a function that behaves
like ``receive_many`` but that fulfills the asyncio coroutine contract to
block until either a result is available or an internal timeout is reached
and ``(None, None)`` is returned.
