Not exactly.

The target() function returns the object that originally got the 
message.  I think the keyword "target" is equivalent.  And the "me" 
keyword is equivalent to the object containing the current handler or 
function.  There might be an object in between.

For example, a button might call a handler in the card script.  That 
handler in the card script might call a handler in the stack script.  
In the execution of that last handler, "me" would refer to the stack 
and target() (and target) would refer to the button.

I would like a way for the script in the stack to know that the handler 
that called it is in the script of a particular object.  In this case, 
that would be the card.
