Hey Erlang people, if you were to add an upper bound on the number of messages allowable in a mailbox, how big would it be, and why?

@bascule And bound violation policies such as drop on the floor, sleep the send, and notify the sender. -
@moonpolysoft I really do like crash-the-sender, at least if it's an exception the sender can catch, but it does kinda fail when distributed -
@bascule seems inelegant to me. It's like throwing a dish at your spouse simply because she won't stop talking. -
@moonpolysoft I like the explicitness, and if you want to adopt a sleeping strategy you can implement it yourself

@bascule Anywho, I can imagine a number of strategies, from bounding on memory consumption, queue length, and even worker saturation. -
@moonpolysoft I think queue length could provide some really neat granular control of how messages are processed
