I'm guessing |msg prepend test| would send a |test( message when banged(but have to think carefully about the design of a good "prepend" functionality and look at the existing ones to figure out what to do there...)
iem_prepend does that ... cyclones' prepend prepends the argument to "bang" (giving "test bang") ... still one would have to convert the triggering message to a bang ... something that will add some overhead ...
I wonder, now, if the message box could be sped up by precompiling the contents somehow. That would be fun for another day...
i thought about something like that, but i think the whole msg object will have to be written ... it would be the cleanest solution, though...
cheers ... tim
