Before I start: I am perfectly aware of Reactive Streams and it is what I 
am currently using. I still use bounded mailboxes to prevent human error 
from sneaking through.

With the current implementation of bounded mailboxes there is no way that 
either consumer or producer get to know if the mailbox is full or filling 
up.
Overflow is redirected directly to Dead Letters with neither of them being 
informed. 
While preventing the crash of the system with an OOM it also feels like a 
missed opportunity for throttling.
Are they just there to prevent OOMs or am I missing something in the API?
