Yeah, the issue with basic.recover{requeue=true} is that it just says to
requeue all messages that have been delivered to your channel. This
could easily include messages you're yet to see (though that can be
controlled with basic.qos settings). The reject or nack methods are much
more helpful in allowing you to select which messages are requeued.
