Built-in timers/intervals #14

Would this mean something more involved than |

I think it mostly means being able to run actors at a repeated interval (to rephrase, send them messages at a fixed interval), or send a message after a specified timeout without blocking any threads. Async runtimes would definitely be helpful here. |

Async runtimes basically just run a separate timer thread that usually uses the Timing Wheels architecture. See: https://docs.rs/tokio-timer/0.2.13/tokio_timer/timer/struct.Timer.html I guess it would be a matter of us deciding if we wanted to (possibly behind a feature flag) implement or import a timer thread that could send messages at delays or intervals. |

This reverts commit 6495dbb, as planned in #14 (comment) Note that this also reverts the version bump from 0.4.1 to 0.5.0. That will be fixed in the next commit.

#53 has been merged, but per comments therein we still want to introduce a helper actor + an ergonomic API on top of it. I'll open a PR to iterate that. |
See module level docs and `delay_actor.rs` example for info. Closes #14. Builds on the fact that actors can now customize their context.
