Shouldn't try to send messages when I'm tired. Should have said in conjunction with 5!:1. But when I did that a while back I was concerned with loss of precision for nouns, not efficiency. These messages made me realize that this approach may not be very efficient for sending nouns as this approach includes a conversion to character. Maybe I need to make it a little smarter and handle nouns without going through 5!:1.
