Request: A way for Actors to delay sending a Message that they want to be sent in the future

[apsurek]

The desired functionality would allow an Actor to create a Message to be sent after x seconds into the future, but instead of halting the processing of incoming Messages and accumulating them (such as the functionality of self.wakeupAfter()), the Actor would still be able to process messages and execute its own code during the period before when the message is sent.

Sufficient functionality would be for the Actor to only be able to send such Messages to itself, but ideally it would be able to send delayed Messages to arbitrary Actors in the system using their Address.
