If you really wanted to you could create a simple Channel wrapper that operator overloads some visually arrow-like operator, exactly such as C++'s famous stream overloads using << and >> byte shift operators as "stream operators". That sort of "cutesy" operator overloading is generally frowned upon in C# best practices, but still possible if you don't mind some C# developers either frowning or laughing at you.
