i think (iirc max correctly), miller meant an additional argument to the
message rather than an additional creation argument to the object.

e.g. [0, 1 12 s( could ramp in 12secs, wherease [1, 0 12 d( would take
considerably longer.

this is way easier to parse and i believe more foolproof than making an
automagic parser that would make [12h(->[f]->[print] output "4.32e+07"
rather than an error, which it really was because i accidentally hit "h"
when trying to type 12.
