Subject: actors: Add %current-actor parameter.
X-Git-Tag: v0.3.0~8
X-Git-Url: https://jxself.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=940cf28396a401ff67ca81fb7fe2580b1784a733;p=8sync.git

actors: Add %current-actor parameter.

This allows actors which may call out long procedures, such as a web
worker, to still be able to have access their actor so they can send
messages to other actors.

* 8sync/systems/actors.scm (%current-actor): New variable.
  (hive-process-message): Update to parameterize %current-actor.
