hmm, then it is an implementation detail that users normally don't have to
care about, since we do what is expected?
I don't think we need to document that detailed in rst docs, but it can
sure be included in scala docs.
Is this correct:

Actors are stopped by invoking the :meth:`stop` method of a
``ActorRefFactory``,
i.e. ``ActorContext`` or ``ActorSystem``. Typically the context is used for
stopping
child actors and the system for stopping top level actors. The actual
termination of
the actor is performed asynchronously, i.e. :meth:`stop` may return before
the actor is
stopped.
