* This is very similar to simcall() right above, but the calling actor will not get rescheduled until
* actor->simcall_answer() is called explicitely.
*
+ * Since the return value does not come from the lambda directly, its type cannot be guessed automatically and must
+ * be provided as template parameter.
+ *
* This is meant for blocking actions. For example, locking a mutex is a blocking simcall.
* First it's a simcall because that's obviously a modification of the world. Then, that's a blocking simcall because if
* the mutex happens not to be free, the actor is added to a queue of actors in the mutex. Every mutex->unlock() takes
*
* If your code never calls actor->simcall_answer() itself, the actor will never return from its simcall.
