I think it’s simple enough, viewed like this:

- for creating actors you need to know where to get them from (that is what you mean by Actor API, right?)
- for the typical things we have `self` and `sender` directly available, as that covers probably 90% of the use cases
- if you want more special actor sauce—which is become/unbecome and watch/unwatch, system and children—then it’s always close by, just `import context._` (or better: choose specifically)
