You can probably solve that with a trait and an abstract override, it's hard to keep track of whether you have manually changed the dispatcher in "instance" or not.

We did solve it on our own ... but I submitted this because I think it is an area where Akka could do better.

If you use spawn { ... } it uses the same dispatcher. But ActorPools do not...

ActorPool.instance should have a parameter, def instance(defaults: Props): ActorRef, and then the pool can set itself as supervisor by default, and it can set it's own dispatcher as the default dispatcher etc.
