OK, again it comes down to my misunderstanding and misuse. I had
mistakenly believed channel.queueBind(queueName, exchangeName,
routingKey) to be an operation which affected the behaviour of the
client only (I thought I was binding my communications channel
directly to a specific queue). The fog is beginning to lift.
