Wow, you keep beating that horse after its dead for quite a while by now. It is _not_at_all_ about technical difficulties (probably it is indeed difficult, I don't really know). It's about breaking consistency. Expanding arguments of the parent is different from expanding to elements of incoming messages. While I understand your frustration to some degree, I don't think this debate is going lead anywhere, simply because of that fact that I don't believe any dev will deliberately introduce inconsistencies just for the sake of convenience. And yes, I understand the convenience of $0 expanding to the canvas-local ID and yes, it would probably make patching simpler. I am very much with you in this respect.
