Thanks Jacque. I can see where that may be useful. However, seeing that there
seems to be no difference in context between send and dispatch, at least by my
experiments, which I admit may have been flawed in some way if others get
different results than I did, I can just use dispatch for everything, unless I
need to send in time. And since I do not very often use functions to *do*
things, just return values, I rarely have a need to send to a function.
I think my initial aversion to execution contexts is somewhat justified at this
point, so I am making it one of my LC coding principles to always ensure my
handlers are in the right place to avoid context issues.
