A simple, featureless actor framework. It allows you to write an async application using the actor pattern. It is suitable for applications that need async:ness but not the highest achievable performance.

It is modelled after C++ Actor Framework which I have used and am very happy with how my applications turned out. Credit to Dominik Charousset, author of CAF.

Most of the code is copied from Phobos std.concurrency.

A thread executes one actor at a time. The actor ID of the current actor is accessible via thisAid().
