-- Mailboxes actually hold references to messages, not the message values
|
|
-- themselves.
|
|
|
|
-- Type Mailbox is defined explicitly as a protected type (via derivation
|
|
-- from a protected type) so that clients may treat them accordingly (for
|
|
-- example, by making conditional/timed entry calls).
