I'm trying to better understand the new api. If I got it right, the new type parameter of the various stream components represents the type of what's materialized by that component when the stream is run (materialized). E.g.: A Source(actorProducerProps) has the actorRef as its "materialization".
Now I have two questions: 1) In which cases could it be useful to know the materialization type of intermediate components? I mean, as a stream "consumer" (i.e. client, in a generic sense), if someone gives me a Source[T,M], I should only know that it produces T elements, the M type looks like implementation detail. What am I missing? 2) Why does .to default to Keep.left? Aren't we almost always interested in the materialized result of Sinks (right)? I see a lot of [T, Unit] around. Thanks!
