Do you mean that you would like to add syntax words in handler
definitions?
Like this:
on callMyHandler v "with message" callback
Or do you mean that any custom command invocation can have the
with-message phrase added to the end and the handler itself can get it
with some function like getCallbackParam()?
Like this:
on callMyHandler v
-- ...
get getCallbackParam()
-- ...
end callMyHandler
on mouseUp
callMyHandler 23 with message "doWhenDone"
end mouseUp
(Maybe some sort of send that doesn't need the handler name and object
reference to be separated would be nice.)
