That's not a bad idea, but I think it would have to be a construction that 
wouldn't break backwards compatibility.

I suppose I can't think of an obvious case where something like @1 would 
currently be used inside a message box.  But with backwards compatibility an 
accumulation of edge cases can be just as frustrating as breaking obvious 
cases.  Also, the fact that these variables would be able to get expanded 
within a string makes more edge cases likely.

what about using a new symbol altogether for message boxes to pass creation 
arguments and $0 value?

maybe @0. @1, etc???
