The value set on the specific message upon which acknowledge() is
called will be applied to all unacked messages on the session at the
time, i.e regular JMS client-ack mode semantics, just with control
over what type of disposiiton is used for the 'acks' sent due to that
acknowledge() call. The intent was to make it per-message by combining
with the individual-ack mode once introduced in JMS.
