I would add a purge-safe or something like that which does what you say
purge-alt does in your text. purge-alt makes you think you are
purging the queue associated with the alt.

I was doing some testing on the C++ broker and discovered that if you
purge messages from a queue (using the management method Queue.purge)
that has an alternate exchange configured, the messages are simply
deleted. They are not sent to the alternate exchange.
I'm planning to fix this because there are valuable use cases for
being able to dump some or all of the messages from a queue into an
alternate exchange (rather than deleting and re-creating the queue).
The question I have for the Devs is this: Should purge always use the
alt-exchange if present? Should this management method be left alone
and a new "purge-alt" be added that uses alt-exchange? Is there a
case where it is desirable to remove messages and not send them to the
configured alt-exchange?
Thanks,
