I have a cursory glance at the examples and I'm suggesting some minor
improvements:

- Tickets, Realms and the access.request command are no longer in the
AMQP spec and hence are treated as NOOPs in Rabbit - you can safely
remove these;
- The codegen module creates sensible defaults for the command
records, so unless you need to override an attribute, you can make
your record definitions more concise;
- You can use amqp_connection:close/1 which is terser than
amqp_connection:close/3;
