---- Reported by werner@yellowcouch.org 2007-11-06 16:55:21 ----

So, when calling a function we
a- instantiate an actor
b- provide it with the thing it should calculate
c- provide it with the actor to notify when the thing is finished (ourselves)

At our own place we must keep track of the placeholder variables, which can be in a wait state. This makes it possible to continue the computation until we need the value of a variable.
