# A message is what is sent when you invoke a method. Args and stuff are packed up in to a Message
# and the Message is sent to the receiver.
# Part of the housekeeping (see attributes) makes messages a double linked list (next_message and
# caller) , and maybe surprisingly this means that we can create all messages at runtime
# and link them up and never have to touch that list again.
# All the args and receiver data changes, but the list of messages stays constant.
