When implementing a custom MailboxType, be aware that there is special semantics attached to ActorOf(Props, string) in that sending the returned IActorRef may, for a short period of time, enqueue the messages first in a dummy queue. Top-level actors are created in two steps, and only after the guardian actor ahs performed that second step will all previously sent messages be transferred from the dummy queue to the real mailbox.

Implemented as an abstract class in order to enforce constructor requirements.
