With recent changes, actors are now stopped when returning an error from the process function.

What should be done when this happens? Actors 'crashing' is a normal occurrence, even if it shouldn't happen in well-written code. Should downstream actors be informed in some way? Should the crash 'bubble up' to parent actors?

Notable: Rust's error handling with Result makes errors very explicit. This is valuable, we don't want to mimic the behavior of exceptions where errors can happen at very unexpected times. How can we best cover this in the API?
