Chris got it right - I just named the function badly. The idea is that there
would be an interaction with the Active Object's event loop to get the actual
result back once it was available from the thread that actually made the
blocking call. In the meantime, *this* object could continue to handle other
messages.
What the approach allows is to have a single physical thread with a number of
coroutiney-type event handlers running inside it.
Cheers,
Nick.
