How to overload bang(!) operator in Scala Actor model?

Question

In an Actor model implementation in Scala, can we override the bang(!) operator. Can we modify the operation of message passing by overloading this operator?

Example

Answer 1

You can try the following code.

override def !(msg:Any):Unit =
{
   //logic for writing to logs..
   super.!(msg)
}

This works fine. However, i want to differentiate behavior of !, depending upon the messages I am sending. for example below:

actor_name!(arg1,arg2,arg3)
actor_name1!(arg4, arg5)

How do i differentiate between these two message sending notation in the overriding code?
