I think 'send', 'do', 'call', 'value()', 'merge()' and setting 'the 
script' will compile.

For improved timing with a send cycle, do the send for the next one at 
the start of the handler.  This is more precise but can be a problem if 
pendingMessages gets bogged down, so use only when needed.

If you need better than that, try getting there early and waiting 
around for the right time.
