We do this for the camel-smslib component. The endpoint represents a serial connection to an SMS modem, and therefore must deal with either sending or receiving of messages or both. I have no idea if this is a recommended approach from camel perspective, but it works for us. My interpretation of the camel doc was that returning `true` from Endpoint.isSingleton() should allow for one Endpoint per URI, but multiple consumers/producers tied to the Endpoint. You can see example at https://github.com/frontlinesms/camel-smslib/blob/master/src/main/java/net/frontlinesms/camel/smslib/SmslibEndpoint.java
