Consider: Reminders, persistent durable and actor bound timers

[ktoso]

Actor Reminders is like reminders but for your actors!

Timers are just "fire in 10 seconds" but with Reminders we can do "remind me in 10minutes" and the reminder infra would watch that the reminder "completes" somehow; we'd only then hook of that the task was completed.

I was recently reminded of this via Reuben's great 2020 talk on Orleans :)

To be honest this was an idea still from Aerons timers, so also good source for inspiration
