Explore implementing a probe into the actor framework.

idea: add USDT (dtrace) probes into actor framework and then use dtrace for the actual runtime tracing

Grabbing this one.

Hmm, but wouldn't that make actor probing work only on MacOS?

But agreed making this suited for a particular library feels too specific, so I'll also look if I can easily hook in something more general, i.e.:

• 8

• tracing interface
• metrics interface

• This can end up being related to https://github.com/tonarino/actor/issues/7 and https://github.com/tonarino/actor/issues/27

True. No one said it's a good idea 😅 (I just wanted to include a complete context.)
