Tests ensure we +never get hang or zombies despite operating in debug mode and attempt to +simulate all possible IPC transport failure cases for a local-host actor +tree. + +Further we simplify `Context.open_stream.__aexit__()` to just call +`MsgStream.aclose()` directly more or less avoiding a pure duplicate +code path.
