Why? Unacked messages are automatically reinjected back into the queue
when the client disconnects. Thus there is never normally any reason to
use basic.recover.

Basic.reject has more viable use cases, and our extension of this to
basic.nack
(http://www.rabbitmq.com/extensions.html#negative-acknowledgements ) is
somewhat more flexible. But basic.recover is arguably a mis-feature of
the specification and indeed we no longer support
basic.recover{requeue=false} at all.
