CAUTION: In order to prevent memory leaks you need to make sure that the
ref is explicitly stopped via stop
in _all_ cases, even if tell
/bang is never called!

An ActorRef which - offers the ability to hook caller-side logic into the reply message path - is never registered anywhere, i.e. can be GCed as soon the receiver drops it or is GCed itself
CAUTION: This ActorRef is _not_ addressable from a non-local JVM and it also breaks some otherwise
valid invariants like system.actorFor(ref.path.toString).equals(ref)
in the local-only context.
It should therefore be used only in purely local environments and in consideration of the limitations.
You can, however, manually wrap it with a registered ActorRef using one of the register... calls.
