StandardActor
The StandardActor is able to respond to messages, but does not keep state. You can of course keep your own in var's. If you do, make sure these are private, so there is no risk the leak to the outside world. All possible return types must be specified. If no name is given, an unique name is generated, but the actor is not indexed to be retrieved on the base of its name. Supply !# as name to define this a worker actor.

In the bare actor the path and name are equal.
Stopping of an actor is organised in levels of sevirity. The lowest level (Direct) terminates directly, the highest level never terminates. The latter is the default. Levels can always be decreased, increase is only possible if the stop action was not yet started. Direct and Finish start immediately, and cannot be retracted.

Called before actor deactivation and guaranteed after the last message is processed. If there were any unprocessed letters in this actor at teardown, complete is false. These could be in the normal mailbox or on the stash, if present. Cause returns the last stop mode, so the cause of stopping this actor is known. In case of a actorContext shutdown this is NOT called, for this disruptly terminates the processing loops. It is however called when stop(...) is used, or when the actor is shutdown by a parent. The actor may still be around after this method is called, but will never accept new messages. The parent is still defined, when stopped() is executed (but may already stopped processing messages) but all the childeren will already be removed from the list, and their stopped() methods have already been called.
