Need a message-base executing exactly once and at least once mechanism

When writing task queue handling with AWS SQS, the worker can guarantee a message has been successfully handled once and only once.

Provide a ChangeMessageVisibility API

With this API, we can program the worker to the following logic

ChangeMessageVisibility
Do actual work
DeleteMessage

Not sure if this feature is already in the lib (I did not see it, but probably because I am new)

If it's not here, I'd be happy to help on to contribute.

@syangragh thank you for creating an issue.

Could you give a detailed example of the suggested API? What would it look like? (code snippet would be helpful).
