This might help avoid one annoying issue with Scala actors, which is that there's no way to just bind to a free port and figure out the port you bound to. (Instead, you must guess a free port number and call alive(port number), and there is no error if that port number in taken.)

In addition, it could provide some performance benefits, though I'd have to test this.
