Think of it as a 'do' that also specifies the message path location and 
maybe changes the defaultStack.

The statement is executed right up until the actual invocation (the 
parameters are evaluated by this time), and then there's an optional 
wait until some time, and then it is dropped into the message path 
pinball machine.
