+# 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.

+ # 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')

+ # == 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
+ #
+ # # 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|

+ # 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.
