Have `Error::Disconnected` contain the actor name

Makes for better error messages.
I think that all the errors should probably contain actor name and message type where possible, too. This would mean having something like
struct Error {
actor: Option<&'static str>,
message: Option<&'static str>,
kind: ErrorKind,
}
enum ErrorKind {
Interrupted,
Disconnected,
}
actor
would be nullable since a disconnected message channel wouldn't know the actor type.
Related: is it worth making Error<M>
and have the error return the message if the send itself fails early with Disconnected
? This could be an inconvenience, but is a standard channel API thing.

A message channel knows which actor it is targeting so I think this should still be possible?
Ah, that is true!
This will also be a breaking change so I think we should try and get it into 0.6.
I am not sure I will have time to work on this any time soon. I don' think it is a must to get into 0.6
and current master is so much better than 0.5
that I think we should release it.
What do you think?
I agree! Can definitely postpone this.
Perhaps we should at least make the struct opaque such that we can work on this feature without making a breaking change?
