+   on between two (possibly remote) hosts.
  - Define new template functions Mailbox::get_unique(), returning a std::unique_ptr.
  - Functions Mailbox::get() and Mailbox::get_async() are now templated with the
    type of the pointee. Untyped functions are deprecated. Use Mailbox::get<void>()

    available as sg_actor_start_() and sg_actor_create_().
