+# The top-level class for building AMQP clients. This class contains several
+# convenience methods for working with queues and exchanges. Many calls
+# delegate/forward to subclasses, but this is the preferred API. The subclass
+# API is subject to change while this high-level API will likely remain
+# unchanged as the library evolves. All code examples will be written using
+# the MQ API.
+#
+# Below is a somewhat complex example that demonstrates several capabilities
+# of the library. The example starts a clock using a +fanout+ exchange which
+# is used for 1 to many communications. Each consumer generates a queue to
+# receive messages and do some operation (in this case, print the time).
+# One consumer prints messages every second while the second consumer prints
+# messages every 2 seconds. After 5 seconds has elapsed, the 1 second
+# consumer is deleted.
+# 
+# Of interest is the relationship of EventMachine to the process. All MQ
+# operations must occur within the context of an EM.run block. We start
+# EventMachine in its own thread with an empty block; all subsequent calls
+# to the MQ API add their blocks to the EM.run block. This demonstrates how
+# the library could be used to build up and tear down communications outside
+# the context of an EventMachine block and/or integrate the library with
+# other synchronous operations. See the EventMachine documentation for
+# more information.

+  #
+  # == 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.
+  # Allocating this exchange without a name _or_ with the empty string
+  # will use the internal 'amq.direct' exchange.
+  #
+  # Any published message, regardless of its persistence setting, is thrown
+  # away by the exchange when there are no queues bound to it.
+  #
+  #  # exchange is named 'foo'
+  #  exchange = MQ.direct('foo')
+  #
+  #  # or, the exchange can use the default name (amq.direct) and perform
+  #  # routing comparisons using the :key
+  #  exchange = MQ.direct("", :key => 'foo')
+  #  exchange.publish('some data') # will be delivered to queue bound to 'foo'
+  #
+  #  queue = MQ.queue('foo')
+  #  # can receive data since the queue name and the exchange key match exactly
+  #  queue.pop { |data| puts "received data [#{data}]" }
+  #
+  # == 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. The
+  # exchange and all bindings will be lost on a server restart.
+  # It makes no sense to publish a persistent message to a transient
+  # exchange.
+  #
+  # Durable exchanges and their bindings are recreated upon a server

+  #
+  # * :auto_delete => true | false (default false)

+  # == 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+ hash key for all
+  # cases.
+  #
+  # Any published message, regardless of its persistence setting, is thrown
+  # away by the exchange when there are no queues bound to it.
+  #
+  # As part of the AMQP standard, each server _should_ predeclare a topic 
+  # exchange called 'amq.topic' (this is not required by the standard).
+  # Allocating this exchange without a name _or_ with the empty string
+  # will use the internal 'amq.topic' exchange.
+  #
+  # 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.topic("stocks")
+  #    keys = ['stock.us.aapl', 'stock.de.dax']
+  #

+  #      puts
+  #      exch.publish(10+rand(10), :routing_key => keys[rand(2)])
+  #    end

+  # When publishing data to the exchange, bound queues subscribing to the
