Maybe I miss something, but Channels doesn't have a way to receive the message with specific `id`. Say one Thread holds amount of money. And other thread wants to know that, so it sends message "question_id: 42, tell me amount of money", but there's no way to get the reply like `channel.recv(42)`. > It can be done currently by using ptr or by switching gc Yes, I tried approach with pointers, it, worked but sometimes I got GC-error crashes. I don't know C to debug those cases, so already was worrying if I should be going that path. Then I discovered that `std/sharedtables` doesn't support the string key/values, probably because it's too hard to do. And so I decided to stop and wait till those features would be more robust and easier to use for people without the C knowledge.
