Yes, this appears to be an issue with our use case. I'm going to have to
write a pretty aggressive background cleanup process that goes through and
gets rid of queues we're not consuming anymore.

If I had ever used erlang I might be inclined to create a plug-in or patch
to add something like auto_delete_on_idle for queues and TTL for messages.
If there's anyone listening that might want to do such a thing on a
contract, send me an email off-list.
