ActorStream | A stream of values, not all of which may have been produced yet.
ArbiterService | Trait defines arbiter's service.
AsyncContext | Asynchronous execution context
ContextFutureSpawner | Helper trait which can spawn future into actor's context
Handler | Message handler
Message | Message type
StreamHandler | Stream handler
Supervised | Actors with ability to restart after failure
SystemService | Trait defines system's service.
WrapFuture | Helper trait that allows conversion of normal future into `ActorFuture`

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
