Yeah! Ideally, there would be two different prefixes for message
expansion and creation argument expansion. THEN you could have it
convenient, #0 would expand to the message selector, $0 to the implicit
ID, $1 to the first creation argument, #1 to the first atom of the
incoming message, etc... And everyone would be happy.

I just see no way to go from here to there...
