Daniel,

Speaking of asynchronous objects, have you ever looked at my EventualSending
code?  There aren't any flashy demo's (heh) but it mostly works.  I actually
need to tie it into Andreas' ScriptProcessor to finish it.  An inspector on
an eventual reference is broken.  It doesn't send to self correctly.  Look
at the class comment for ReferenceContext.
