Looks great! A very welcome addition :-) Looking at docs and code, it seems that Registry suffers from a mild case of the :supervisor syndrome :-) Namely, there's some conditional logic and documentation depending on the registry type (unique vs duplicate). I wonder if these should be split in two, say Registry.Unique and Registry.Duplicate, or maybe just Registry and PubSub, since the latter is not a :via compatible registry anyway?
I also agree with Chris that it should reside under the Process namespace.
