[rabbitmq-discuss] X-expires not working in 0-8-0 clients

[MarcusR]

It seems that the x-expires argument for declaring queues is not
accepted from 0-8 clients. The error message I receive is this:

PRECONDITION_FAILED - invalid arg 'x-expires' for queue

I assume this is because 0-8 only has the type "I" to write integers
in the argument field table. Perhaps it uses a different numeric type
that is not available to 0-8 clients. Is there a way around this
limitation? Has anyone gotten this to work? To me this seems like a
bug.

Here is a hex dump of the queue declare that I send:
