  * `:threaded` (boolean, default: `true`): switches to single-threaded connections when set to `false`. Only recommended for apps that only publish messages.
  * `:continuation_timeout` (integer, default: `4000` ms): timeout for client operations that expect a response (e.g. `Bunny::Queue#get`), in *milliseconds*.
  * `:frame_max` (integer, default: `131072`): maximum permissible size of a frame (in bytes) to negotiate with clients. Setting to 0 means "unlimited" but will trigger a bug in some QPid clients. Setting a larger value may improve throughput; setting a smaller value may improve latency.

+Bunny is able to parse [RabbitMQ URI query parameters](https://www.rabbitmq.com/uri-query-parameters.html), where you may specify some common client connection attributes:
+
+ * `auth_mechanism`
+ * `heartbeat`
+ * `connection_timout`
+ * `channel_max`
+ * `verify`
+ * `fail_if_no_peer_cert`
+ * `cacertfile`
+ * `certfile`
+ * `keyfile`
+
+ Here is an example:
+
+```ruby
+b = Bunny.new("amqps://rabbitmq?heartbeat=10&connection_timeout=100&channel_max=1000&verify=true&fail_if_no_peer_cert=true&cacertfile=/examples/tls/cacert.pem&certfile=/examples/tls/client_cert.pem&keyfile=/examples/tls/client_key.pem")

+b.pass #=> "guest"
+b.hostname #=> "rabbitmq"
+b.port #=> 5671

+Pay attention that some attibutes are not allowed for specific scheme, particularly TLS options don't make sense for "amqp" scheme.
