I think it would be easy enough to implement (message boxes would simply
save $0 and put it somewhere when the message was getting passed - with
some ugliness about recursion to worry about.)
Can you give me an example of such a recursion so that I can try to
think of a solution?
But I'd like to find a solution that somehow allows accessing $1, etc,
from either context. I can't find a good design that would accomodate this.
(And as always, when I can't think of a good design, I simply work on
something else instead hoping I or someone else will think of something good
in the future :)

Miller et al,
The current code suggests that this should happen (binbuf_eval calls the
appropriate function), but since canvas_setcurrent is never called, it fails
and returns 0.
Yet, I wonder why message shouldn't be able to pre-parse $0 into a valid
dollarzero (canvas instance), when there will never be a message one could
send into it that could trump this argument (how would one specify an
argument $0 anyhow)? I do understand that message is not meant to pre-parse
values, but shouldn't this be an exception? That way one creating a message
with an instance included does not have to go through the trouble of
creating an [$0] object that needs to be packed with the rest of the list
and then forwarded onward to a message object.
Thoughts?
If others are in favor of this idea, should this take place for all types of
messages passed into message object (bang, list, anything, blob, etc.)?
