Partial function implementing the actor logic. To be implemented by concrete actor class.

println("unknown message: " + unknown)
}

The 'self' field holds the ActorRef for this actor.
Can be used to send messages to itself:
self ! messageHere you also find most of the Actor API.
For example fields like:
self.dispatcher = ... self.trapExit = ... self.faultHandler = ... self.lifeCycle = ... self.sender
