Hmm, thanks for pointing me to that.  It doesn't do everything we're hoping
for here but goes some way.

Here's a (mad) thought.  What if messages boxes could send messages to
"1", "2", etc., which would sprout outlets?  Something like this:

;
1 2 3;
2 3 4

would send the message "2 3" to the first outlet and then "3 4" to the
second one.

I don't see a good way to implement this yet.  But it might take care of the
majority of situations in which people now have to do $0 tricks, and if so,
it might be worth some ugliness in the implementation.

cheers
