Right. As noted then, the closest we have is rabbit_amqqueue:stat_all(). 
That only gives you a message count though. You can get at the messages 
by inspecting the process state, but that involves some quite low-level 
hacking of RabbitMQ internals.

The RabbitMQ management interface is still being designed, and the same 
goes for the efforts in that area by the AMQP working group. Requests 
like the above are most welcome since they help steer us in the right 
direction.
