The /snoop operation will work on any channel technology. The channel it
returns is a specific channel implementation called Snoop. Since you can
bridge any technology with any technology anything can act as an active
spyer.
The fundamental difference with this approach is that it's not an
operation which performs "channel A spies on channel B". It's an
operation which performs "provide me a conduit to snoop the media becing
received or sent on channel B". What that conduit ends up being
connected to is up to the application developer.
