The [display] object does like [print] but inside of a patch. However this
was coded this morning, so you'd have to use the CVS of GridFlow (see
http://gridflow.ca/) and compile it yourself (on Linux and OSX).

Ironically, I have just posted a screenshot showing what [display] can do.
Actually I only gave examples for float/symbol/grid, but you can really
make it print any message. It will insert a colon between the selector and
the $1, such that:

[1 2 3(      -> [display] shows up as [list: 1 2 3]
[note 66 10( -> [display] shows up as [note: 66 10]

The screenshot showing the other examples is (I repeat myself):
