-[Actors] (parallelism in GRAS)
-  * An actor is a user process. 
-    It has a highly sequential control flow from its birth until its death. 
-    The timers won't stop the current execution to branch elsewhere, they
-    will be delayed until the actor is ready to listen. Likewise, no signal
-    delivery. The goal is to KISS for users.
-  * You can fork a new actor, even on remote hosts. 
-  * They are implemented as threads in RL, but this is still a distributed
-    memory *model*. If you want to share data with another actor, send it
-    using the message interface to explicit who's responsible of this data.
-  * data exchange between actors placed within the same UNIX process is  
-    *implemented* by memcopy, but that's an implementation detail.
