Not the queue directly, but each consumer has a consumer tag, which 
shows up in handleDelivery(). So you can either let the server give you 
a consumer tag at basicConsume() time, and maintain a map of consumer 
tag -> queue name, or you can specify the consumer tag yourself as the 
queue name, then you don't need to maintain the mapping.
