/*
    An `ActorRef<O>` is a *non*-owning, weak reference to an actor of type `O`. You can send it
    messages just like an `Actor<O>`. It's a value object: safe to copy and pass between actors
    via messages.

    An `ActorRef<O>` does not extend the lifetime of the corresponding `Actor<O>`. That's determined
    entirely by whichever object owns the `Actor<O>` -- the actor's "supervisor".

    It's safe for a `Ref` to outlive its `Actor` -- the reference is "weak", and does not extend
    the lifetime of the owning Actor, and sending a message to a `Ref` whose `Actor` has died is
    a no-op. (In the future, a dead-letters queue or log may be implemented.)
