New issue 268 by renggli: Introduce WAMessageSend
http://code.google.com/p/seaside/issues/detail?id=268

Currently Seaside depends on the platform class MessageSend (receiver,  
selector, arguments). This
class is not part of ANSI Smalltalk and the implementation of this class is  
extremely obscure in
Squeak, especially when it is evaluated with additional or a variable  
number of arguments.

I suggest to improve the situation by providing a clean implementation of  
WAMessageSend.
However I do not really see how such a thing could be implemented nicely,  
so that it behaves polymorphic to the evaluation protocol of BlockContext  
(#value:, #value:value:,
#valueWithArguments:, #valueWithPossibleArguments:) and that #numArgs  
answers a meaningful
result (so that things like in WAAnchor>>#callback: are not necessary).
