      # {Designator} names are collected using +method_missing+, and are
      # named after the method name. Implementations are looked up in
      # a +Designators+ module in the {Actor}'s class.

      # fact that designator string representations aren't scoped by the
      # Actor model they belong to. As such when instantiating a designator
      # from +Eaco::Designator.make+ the registry is consulted to find the
      # designator implementation.

      # Defines the boolean logic that determines whether an {Actor} is an

      # can call from here. Or, feel free to just return +false+ to disable
      # this functionality.

      # Example:
