publish and surprise

[Tom Glod]

thats what i'm thiking about..its only documented in the "create a plugin"
sections.  But having this in standalones would be a bit of news.

So every message the engine sends is checked to see if there is a
subscription to that message and then all objects ( whether in the path or
not. ) that are subscribed would receive a message that this message was
triggered. That is pretty cool!
