On the choice of integer / value hashing algorithm

If we have to pick one, I agree that the safer siphash is a better choice.

Prevent sub-classing of a given class, i.e. final / finalization

@nordlander at least for the purpose of WorldCap, it would also be fine if this just worked for actors somehow and we could then convert all Caps to be actors...

Allow calling actor & object methods in `after` statement

Yes, agreed. Cancellation of after to other actor would not be deterministic! And that is OK!

Implement a transactions log for co-located actors

I think the simpler case and natural first step is to bulk together the updates from multiple continuations of the same actor up to a certain time or until there...

Add `#line` directives to generated C code for better traceback output

Hmm I guess the big downside is that by adding this we mess up segfault debugging with gdb? but that's like acceptable I guess... that should be very rare. Maybe...

Add `#line` directives to generated C code for better traceback output

Okay so for the very simple case of getting line numbers just for where the exception is raised, we can just add line / file args to like $RAISE, print...

Implement a transactions log for co-located actors

I'm saying it's the natural first step because it doesn't need a new transaction log. It's just a bit of code reorg. Now I'm really eager to try and implement...

Implement a transactions log for co-located actors

@aagapi for the change I'm thinking about we don't need a transaction log at all, but yeah, let's write some code :)

Extend hard coded check `if X is not None` to also cover `if X is None: ... else:`

This is just a rewrite rule in the compiler, so it's fairly simple but it does take a few hours or something and since it's not all that important we'll...

Extend None check to support checking object attributes `if a.b is not None`

@nordlander is this in the compiler? Or is that part OK but we are simply lacking the necessary C definition for `$IdentityOptG_new` ?? So @sydow territory?
