# A message is what is created when a message is sent. Args and stuff are packed up in to a
# Message and the Message is activated (by swapping it into the machine).
# 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 compile-time
# 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
# (a pleasant stupor while we ignore closures and longer extended frames ).
