And whether you know where the sprites are. If you've moved 'em
around or if you have 1000 sprites which discontiguously have
handlers that can be messaged, the repeat loop won't work as well, I
suspect. (Haven't *ever* had 1000 sprites I needed to message all at
once though.)
I'll stick with the slightly sloppier, marginally slower method, just
to avoid the housekeeping involved with the repeat loops to begin
with. ;)
