I think Broker is going to end up best addressing "core <-> external” by 
providing (hopefully) simple interfaces to a few common/specific messaging 
patterns and may not make sense to use it generally for “core <-> threads”.  
But yes, using actor-framework directly to replace the current threading 
approach is an option to consider.
