Dispatch

[Sean Cole]

Thanks Craig,
I was particularly asking if there was any 'advantage/disadvantage' in using

dispatch myHandler with myVar

over just using

myHandler

The dictionary defines its advantages for use with behaviours and that it
returns in the 'it' variable if the message was handled or not - useful
even when not used with behaviours in some cases I could imagine.

However, I wondered if anyone else had already done the experimentation as
to the dis/advantages of the above. Just making use of the community :)
