isn't it possible with RSB to define a message handler that does not have to
explicitly implement a ConsumerOf<TMessage> for every message it wants to
handle but where I can rather handle ALL (or a filtered subset) of the
messages?

I don't understand this... If I use the correlation Id of the original
message and provide it to the corresponding response message I should
receive it back with the response?
