What I mean is if the receiver is still living, but the sender quit. Eg: I am calling Process.send_after/3 from a short live process such as in my Phoenix controller context, to a GenServer that is long living.
My understanding is the cost of :timer come from the fact that it is using a central process for all timer actions. Process.send_after/3 has lower cost, so there should not be a intermediate process, right? So who will send the message when the time finally comes? The original process? What if it quit already?
