/**
* == Extended Versions Of Akka Patterns ==
*
* This subpackage contains extended versions of Akka patterns.
*
* Currently supported are:
*
*
* - ask: create a temporary one-off actor for receiving a reply to a
* message and complete a [[scala.concurrent.Future]] with it; returns said
* Future.
* a message.
*
*
* In Scala the recommended usage is to import the pattern from the package
* object:
* {{{
* import akka.pattern.extended.ask
*
* ask(actor, askSender => Request(askSender)) // use it directly
* actor ask (Request(_)) // use it by implicit conversion
* }}}
*
* For Java the patterns are available as static methods of the [[akka.pattern.Patterns]]
* class:
* {{{
* import static akka.pattern.Patterns.ask;
*
* ask(actor, new akka.japi.Function {
* Object apply(ActorRef askSender) {
* return new Request(askSender);
* }
* });
* }}}
