Thanks, Tony. This is super-helpful! I'll experiment with using the
technique you describe and see how it goes.

If my experiments are successful (or fail in interesting ways), I'll try
to write up a blog post with my findings. Certainly the RabbitMQ C
library does not currently suffer from an excess of documentation.

As far as I can tell, rais is (the beginning of) an AMQP broker
implementation in C? Is that correct?

cheers,
