Way cool! Thanks for posting that; I'd missed that in the docs.
For all of its advantages, I've taken on Mark Wieder's approach since
"dispatch" was introduced: I've sort of deprecated "send" in my mind,
reserving its use only for when I need timers, and use "dispatch" for
everything else.
Calling remote functions with it is just icing that lets me ditch "call"
too. :)
