stop

default void stop()

Description copied from interface: Stoppable

Causes the receiver to stop reacting to messages and to eventually be garbage collected.

Note that the contract of stop() is to suspend the receivers mailbox deliveries, which will prevent further processing. To arrange for eventually stopping the receiver send conclude(), which will then cause stop(). In essence the conclude() marks the mailbox for ending operations, but allows messages already queued to first be delivered.
