//! Output ports for publish-subscribe notifications between actors
//!
//! This notion extends beyond traditional actors in this that is a publish-subscribe
//! mechanism we've added in `ractor`. Output ports are ports which can have messages published
//! to them which are automatically forwarded to downstream actors waiting for inputs. They optionally
//! have a message transformer attached to them to convert them to the appropriate message type
//!
//! There are two different implementation. If the feature `output-port-v2` is not specified
//! the implementation use a broadcast channel that is limited to 10 messages successively sent
//! for each susbscribed actor. That means that if 10 messages are sent to the output port successively
//! there is a high probably that any subscriber receive all messages.
//!
//! The new implementation that is accessible using `output-port-v2` use a fan-out task that distributes
//! message to all subscriber ensuring that all messages are received by all subscribers
