Sort of. I’m implementing a simple publish-subscribe solution. The mediator 
watches subscribers and removes these upon termination. The latter I would like 
to test, i.e. be sure that terminated actors are removed from the mediator. 
Stopping a subscriber means that it is “hard to use” in assertions ;-)

Any ideas how to test this? Maybe TestActorRef is the only way ...

Thanks
