Actually, this functionality is already implemented in the latest 
release, although it is not described in the documentation.

In the 'arguments' parameter to amq_client_session_queue_declare 
function you can explicitly specify the name of queue profile. You do so 
by adding a field named 'profile' with the value equal to requested 
profile name to the 'arguments' field table.

(When the profile is not specified, it defaults to 'private' for 
exclusive queues and to 'shared' for non-exclusive queues.)

Of course, you have to define the requested queue profile in the server 
configuration file, otherwise you'll get error when creating the queue.
