Isn't a configuration option "MaxNumberOfChannels" exactly what you are looking for
Jefferson? Set it to 1 and it would do what you expect, disabling the use of more than
one concurrent session. Seems easy to implement to me, would that be accepted
by the maintainers? Is my view of the ssh-protocol to naive? :-)

This could have either semantic of:

	- allow only N concurrent channels at a time
	- limit the creation of channels in one session to N
