Research direction
Start with rabbitmq/consumer.go at lines 35-38 and inspect how incomingMessages, HandleMessage, and Ack are used. Determine whether the reported pointer handling is a real bug, mitigated, or desirable behavior; the issue is complete when that classification is supported by the surrounding code.
