Streams
Integrate async streams with actors for continuous data processing.
Overview
Actors can process items from async streams using the StreamHandler trait. This is useful for:
- Processing TCP/WebSocket connections
- Handling message queues
- Reading file streams
- Processing channels from other tasks

Multiple Streams
An actor can handle multiple streams of different types:

Stream items are processed interleaved with regular messages. The actor maintains its sequential message processing guarantee.
