It's an open question whether it's desirable to hide the proto bits when exposing these customization points, and if so, what that would look like.
Even if I'm only remotely connected to this I would like to emphasize the importance of a simple extension interface. By 'simple' I mean: hide Proto! We do not need the full power of Proto here and forcing every user to understand Proto's fine details before he is able to write his own actor is not good. Yes, it is possible to hide Proto completely behind a set of well-crafted domain specific (i.e. Phoenix) interfaces. This has been done already in Spirit (V2) and has proven to work well.
Hartmut, where can I find the documentation for Spirit's extensibility mechanism? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
