31 * An ATAsyncMessageCreation instance is used in an asynchronous message send 
32 * <code>o<-m()</code>, or in code that creates a first-class async msg, for example
33 * <code>def msg := <-m()</code>.
34 * 
35 * This interface does not describe the interface to the actual first-class message
36 * (that is the {@link ATAsyncMessage} interface).
37 * It only describes the interface to the AG component that evaluates to such a message.
