preservation of message order

[Ulf Wiger]

Erlang guarantees that the order of messages from one sender
to another is preserved.

Does this also mean that a {'DOWN',process,Who,Why} message,
or an {'EXIT',Pid,Why} message can never reach the recipient
ahead of the last message sent to same recipient? I hope so.

There are probably restrictions, such as: if the message
is sent using global:send(...), no such guarantee can be
made, but if the message is sent using the Pid or
locally registered name of the process, the guarantee should
hold.
