Whenever you block waiting for yourself (directly, or through a chain of
calls) you will deadlock, of course. That's not a bug.

The TODO item is to define what happens if (assuming async) you send to
yourself. I think "it should work" is right and so the main TODO item is
to be sure it's in the test suite.
