That sounds about right :-)

Ah, I think I see the motivation for the style now. If it were me, I'd
be going for overloaded constructors in C++, all of which take at least
the name of the exchange/queue, where the variants are:

 - one which does no declare at all, and just lets you use the
   resource;

 - one which declares actively, with other parameters as specified; and

 - one which declares passively, with other parameters as specified.

I don't know. The AMQP standard uses the word "class" in a way that I
think is misleading. It seems to deal in terms of certain remote
*resources* of different *types*, but they do not feel like methods in
an object-oriented sense, no matter what the terms the spec uses :-)

I do not, no; the reason is that RabbitMQ does not implement File or
Stream, because their behaviour is not specified in the standard.
Because they have no specified behaviour, I can't see the use of them.
If other vendors implement them, they will be effectively implemented as
custom extensions; if they ever get standardised, we'll no doubt follow.
