 class MQ
+  # An Exchange acts as an ingress point for all published messages. An
+  # exchange may also be described as a router or a matcher. Every
+  # published message is received by an exchange which, depending on its
+  # type (described below), determines how to deliver the message.
+  #
+  # It determines the next delivery hop by examining the bindings associated
+  # with the exchange.
+  #
+  # There are three (3) supported Exchange types: direct, fanout and topic.
+  #
+  # As part of the standard, the server _must_ predeclare the direct exchange
+  # 'amq.direct' and the fanout exchange 'amq.fanout' (all exchange names 
+  # starting with 'amq.' are reserved). Attempts to declare an exchange using
+  # 'amq.' as the name will raise an MQ:Error and fail. In practice these
+  # default exchanges are never used directly by client code.
+  #
+  # These predececlared exchanges are used when the client code declares
+  # an exchange without a name. In these cases the library will use
+  # the default exchange for publishing the messages.

   class Exchange
     include AMQP
 
+    # Defines, intializes and returns an Exchange to act as an ingress
+    # point for all published messages.
+    #
+    # There are three (3) supported Exchange types: direct, fanout and topic.
+    #
+    # As part of the standard, the server _must_ predeclare the direct exchange
+    # 'amq.direct' and the fanout exchange 'amq.fanout' (all exchange names 
+    # starting with 'amq.' are reserved). Attempts to declare an exchange using
+    # 'amq.' as the name will raise an MQ:Error and fail. In practice these
+    # default exchanges are never used directly by client code.
+    #
+    # == Direct
+    # A direct exchange is useful for 1:1 communication between a publisher and
+    # subscriber. Messages are routed to the queue with a binding that shares
+    # the same name as the exchange. Alternately, the messages are routed to 
+    # the bound queue that shares the same name as the routing key used for 
+    # defining the exchange. This exchange type does not honor the :key option
+    # when defining a new instance with a name. It _will_ honor the :key option
+    # if the exchange name is the empty string. This is because an exchange
+    # defined with the empty string uses the default pre-declared exchange
+    # called 'amq.direct'. In this case it needs to use :key to do its matching.
+    #
+    #  # exchange is named 'foo'
+    #  exchange = MQ::Exchange.new(MQ.new, :direct, 'foo')
+    #
+    #  # or, the exchange can use the default name (amq.direct) and perform
+    #  # routing comparisons using the :key
+    #  exchange = MQ::Exchange.new(MQ.new, :direct, "", :key => 'foo')
+    #  exchange.publish('some data') # will be delivered to queue bound to 'foo'
+    #
+    #  queue = MQ::Queue.new(MQ.new, 'foo')
+    #  # can receive data since the queue name and the exchange key match exactly
+    #  queue.pop { |data| puts "received data [#{data}]" }
+    #
+    # == Fanout
+    # A fanout exchange is useful for 1:N communication where one publisher 
+    # feeds multiple subscribers. Like direct exchanges, messages published 
+    # to a fanout exchange are delivered to queues whose name matches the 
+    # exchange name (or are bound to that exchange name). Each queue gets 
+    # its own copy of the message.
+    #
+    # Like the direct exchange type, this exchange type does not honor the 
+    # :key option when defining a new instance with a name. It _will_ honor 
+    # the :key option if the exchange name is the empty string. Fanout exchanges
+    # defined with the empty string as the name use the default 'amq.fanout'.
+    # In this case it needs to use :key to do its matching.
+    #
+    #  EM.run do
+    #    clock = MQ::Exchange.new(MQ.new, :fanout, 'clock')
+    #    EM.add_periodic_timer(1) do
+    #      puts "\npublishing #{time = Time.now}"
+    #      clock.publish(Marshal.dump(time))
+    #    end
+    #
+    #    # one way of defining a queue
+    #    amq = MQ::Queue.new(MQ.new, 'every second')
+    #    amq.bind(MQ.fanout('clock')).subscribe do |time|
+    #      puts "every second received #{Marshal.load(time)}"
+    #    end
+    #
+    #    # defining a queue using the convenience method
+    #    # note the string passed to #bind
+    #    MQ.queue('every 5 seconds').bind('clock').subscribe do |time|
+    #      time = Marshal.load(time)
+    #      puts "every 5 seconds received #{time}" if time.strftime('%S').to_i%5 == 0
+    #    end
+    #  end
+    #
+    # == Topic
+    # A topic exchange allows for messages to be published to an exchange 
+    # tagged with a specific routing key. The Exchange uses the routing key
+    # to determine which queues to deliver the message. Wildcard matching 
+    # is allowed. The topic must be declared using dot notation to separate 
+    # each subtopic.
+    #
+    # This is the only exchange type to honor the :key parameter.
+    #
+    # As part of the AMQP standard, each server _should_ predeclare a topic 
+    # exchange called 'amq.topic' (this is not required by the standard).
+    #
+    # The classic example is delivering market data. When publishing market
+    # data for stocks, we may subdivide the stream based on 2 
+    # characteristics: nation code and trading symbol. The topic tree for 
+    # Apple Computer would look like:
+    #  'stock.us.aapl'
+    # For a foreign stock, it may look like:
+    #  'stock.de.dax'
+    #
+    # When publishing data to the exchange, bound queues subscribing to the
+    # exchange indicate which data interests them by passing a routing key
+    # for matching against the published routing key.
+    #
+    #  EM.run do
+    #    exch = MQ::Exchange.new(MQ.new, :topic, "stocks")
+    #    keys = ['stock.us.aapl', 'stock.de.dax']
+    #
+    #    EM.add_periodic_timer(1) do # every second
+    #      puts
+    #      exch.publish(10+rand(10), :routing_key => keys[rand(2)])
+    #    end
+    #
+    #    # match against one dot-separated item
+    #    MQ.queue('us stocks').bind(exch, :key => 'stock.us.*').subscribe do |price|
+    #      puts "us stock price [#{price}]"
+    #    end
+    #
+    #    # match against multiple dot-separated items
+    #    MQ.queue('all stocks').bind(exch, :key => 'stock.#').subscribe do |price|
+    #      puts "all stocks: price [#{price}]"
+    #    end
+    #
+    #    # require exact match
+    #    MQ.queue('only dax').bind(exch, :key => 'stock.de.dax').subscribe do |price|
+    #      puts "dax price [#{price}]"
+    #    end
+    #  end
+    #
+    # For matching, the '*' (asterisk) wildcard matches against one 
+    # dot-separated item only. The '#' wildcard (hash or pound symbol) 
+    # matches against 0 or more dot-separated items. If none of these 
+    # symbols are used, the exchange performs a comparison looking for an 
+    # exact match.
+    #
+    # == Options
+    # * :passive => true | false (default false)
+    # If set, the server will not create the exchange if it does not
+    # already exist. The client can use this to check whether an exchange
+    # exists without modifying  the server state.
+    # 
+    # * :durable => true | false (default false)
+    # If set when creating a new exchange, the exchange will be marked as
+    # durable.  Durable exchanges remain active when a server restarts.
+    # Non-durable exchanges (transient exchanges) are purged if/when a
+    # server restarts. 
+    #
+    # A transient exchange (the default) is stored in memory-only
+    # therefore it is a good choice for high-performance and low-latency
+    # message publishing.
+    #
+    # Durable exchanges cause all messages to be written to non-volatile
+    # backing store (i.e. disk) prior to routing to any bound queues.
+    #
+    # * :auto_delete => true | false (default false)
+    # If set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished
+    # using it. The server waits for a short period of time before
+    # determining the exchange is unused to give time to the client code
+    # to bind a queue to it.
+    #
+    # If the exchange has been previously declared, this option is ignored
+    # on subsequent declarations.
+    #
+    # * :internal => true | false (default false)
+    # If set, the exchange may not be used directly by publishers, but
+    # only when bound to other exchanges. Internal exchanges are used to
+    # construct wiring that is not visible to applications.
+    #
+    # * :nowait => true | false (default true)
+    # If set, the server will not respond to the method. The client should
+    # not wait for a reply method.  If the server could not complete the

+    #
+    # == Exceptions
