what I want to do is something like:

on alert any
    alert(string(any))
end

which of course doesn't work, because it creates an recursive circle ad
infinitum.

An easy solution is:

on alert thestring,reallymeanit
  if voidp(reallymeanit) then
     alert "here's what you were trying to say:" && thestring,true
  else
     pass
  end if
end
