[PATCH] mailbox timeouts and actor registration
Reported by rosejn | April 8th, 2008 @ 05:49 AM | in 1.0 preview
This patch adds timeout functionality to mailboxes, and it adds Mailbox#clear that removes all pending messages. Additionally it adds keyed registration for Actors, which can be used to offer services locally and eventually over multiple vms.
NOTE: It appears that the Scheduler.send_in_microseconds method is not actually sending in the correct number of microseconds, which means the mailbox timeouts are not accurate. I might be using them wrong, in which case this is a bug on my part, but I will post another ticket with more information related to this.

Here are two separate patches: one for the actor and mailbox feature additions and one for the specs. They have the name and email set correctly now too.
