%%%
%%% In code such as:
%%%
%%%    Ref = make_ref(),        %Or erlang:monitor(process, Pid)
%%%      .
%%%      .
%%%      .
%%%    receive
%%%       {Ref,Reply} -> Reply
%%%    end.
%%%
%%% we know that none of the messages that exist in the message queue
%%% before the call to make_ref/0 can be matched out in the receive
%%% statement. Therefore we can avoid going through the entire message
%%% queue if we introduce two new instructions (here written as
%%% BIFs in pseudo-Erlang):
%%%
%%%    recv_mark(SomeUniqInteger),
%%%    Ref = make_ref(),
%%%      .
%%%      .
%%%      .
%%%    recv_set(SomeUniqInteger),
%%%    receive
%%%       {Ref,Reply} -> Reply
%%%    end.
%%%
%%% The recv_mark/1 instruction will save the current position and
%%% SomeUniqInteger in the process context. The recv_set
%%% instruction will verify that SomeUniqInteger is still stored
%%% in the process context. If it is, it will set the current pointer
%%% for the message queue (the next message to be read out) to the
%%% position that was saved by recv_mark/1.
%%%
%%% The remove_message instruction must be modified to invalidate
%%% the information stored by the previous recv_mark/1, in case there
%%% is another receive executed between the calls to recv_mark/1 and
%%% recv_set/1.
%%%
%%% We use a reference to a label (i.e. a position in the loaded code)
%%% as the SomeUniqInteger.
