Specify the target when using time.

I use this in untargeted callbacks:

send someMessage to me in 0 seconds

This is caught even in groups.  It is queued; if you leave out the time, 
it is executed immediately.

You may want to allow clock customer objects to sign up for callbacks.

(Uh.  There may have been a problem with messages getting to groups in a 
recent MC alpha and I haven't taken time to track this down and find 
something reportable.)
