5. def ?[B](f: (ActorRef[B]) ⇒ A)(implicit timeout: Timeout, ctA: ClassTag[A], sender: UntypedActorRef = Actor.noSender): Future[B]

   

   Ask a typed question asynchronously.

   Ask a typed question asynchronously. This signature enforces the replyTo pattern for keeping type safety.

   Instead of sending a message of Any and replying to an untyped sender(), you supply a function that, given a typed sender, will return the message. This is typically done with a second parameter list of a case class.

   case class MyMessage(payload: String)(val replyTo: ActorRef[MyResponse])
   
   class MyActor extends Actor {
     def receive = {
       case m@MyMessage(payload) => m.replyTo ! MyResponse(payload)
     }
   }

   Any

10. def or[B]: ActorRef[|[A, B]]

    

    Build a union typed ActorRef out of this ActorRef.

    Build a union typed ActorRef out of this ActorRef. The resulting actor may accept either A or B as message.

13. def unsafeTell(msg: Any)(implicit sender: UntypedActorRef = Actor.noSender): Unit

    

    Sends any message asynchronously, e.g.

    Sends any message asynchronously, e.g. akka.actor.PoisonPill. This is the same as using tell on a untyped actor.

14. def untyped: UntypedActorRef

    

    Returns this typed ActorRef as an untyped akka.actor.ActorRef.

    Returns this typed ActorRef as an untyped akka.actor.ActorRef. The returned instance is eq to this.
