Hi all,

I was playing with Derek Wyatt's implicit message protocol:
http://derekwyatt.org/2014/01/01/using-scala-implicits-to-implement-a-messaging-protocol.html

and was able to wrap my messages in a custon envelope.

Unfortunately it's when using TestKit that things started to get more
complex.
Basically, I'd like to be able to write:

test ! MyMessage // internally this gets enveloped, and does a sender emit 
MyResponse
expectMsg(MyResponse)

But what the implicit sender here (or a TestProbe for what matters) sees
is the envelope, not the real message.

Of course I can rewrite the expectMsg to an expectMsgPF with the
necessary unwrapping, but I'm looking for a more direct way that
wouldn't force me to rewrite tons of expectMsg all around my code.

The only other solution I could think of is to have my own TestKit
implementation that knows how to unwrap the envelope.

Any ideas beside those two ones?

(I really wish akka would support custom envelope data or message
metadata, that would allow to create incredible things without touching
any line of a given actor code :))

Thanks!
