Any API that lets you peek at the "state" of a channel is a surefire source 
of race conditions. So no, public API-wise, there isn't any way to do what 
you want. In theory, you can peek at the internals using reflection to get 
that information, but don't do that!

Instead, you can simply *count* yourself. Stick an extra go-loop on either 
end that swaps an atom with inc or dec.
