I attached an illustration of how I use this idea normally. Although I
used [list] here, the basic approach works without it as well, I just
used [list] because it's so convenient.

IMO this is almost fully equivalent to renaming sends and receives and
should catch most cases where one might want to use these. The main
advantage, or the advantage important to me is, that it reduces the
number of globally visible receivers to basically one or two. I tend
to avoid pollution of the receiver namespace whereever possible, but
that may be a style or taste issue.

Ciao
