Hi all,

I have seen that the concurrency api has this method specified in 
$title [1] and I was wondering what is the use of it? Enabling 
threads to modify the message box of other threads doesn't seem 
to be a good idea and I can't think of any real use case.

Best regards,

Otherwise I don't remember the last time it was mentioned, so I'd say 
leave it be :)

Shouldn't the thread be in charge of its mailbox size? Otherwise, 
main can pass the max size in the constructor.

Callee, versus caller. Just depends how you're thinking of the 
responsibility. You can make arguments either way.
