Should "dispatch" be extended for timers?

[Richard Gaskin]

I love "dispatch", and the more I use it the more I find "send" murky.

With "dispatch" params seem more natural to me:

    dispatch "somecommand" to tSomeObj with tArg2, tArg2

But with "send" it's less clear how params are handled - here's an 
example from the forums today:

   send clearVideo LayerAlpha, baseLayer, LayerGraphic, \
      LayerAudio to me in 700 milliseconds

Seems like a good guess as to how it should be used, but of course the 
compiler complains.

So given that "dispatch" is also faster, why not use it for everything, 
extending it with "in" to allow timers:

    dispatch "somecommand" to tSomeObj with tArg2, tArg2 in 2 secs

Is there some reason I've overlooked as to why "send" allows timers but 
"dispatch" doesn't?
