for what it is worth, i have just created a little object [rawprint] in
zexy, that should allow you to inspect messages a bit closer.
it's basically a clone of [print] without all the fancy handling of
special atoms.

for [foo 1 bar( it will print:
"foo" 1.00000 'bar'

the output of [pointer] could print:
"pointer" pointer[0xBFD62658]

the selector is indicated with double-quotes and ordinary symbols with
single-quotes.

it's dedicated to all those who always wanted to see what's in a message.
i don't see any usefulness in itself (apart from demystifying messages)
