I think so. Built-in commands and functions do not traverse the message 
path. They go directly to the engine, which is what gives Rev such a 
speed boost over HC and which is also why you can't intercept a built-in 
message by trapping it with a handler. Therefore, when you send a native 
message specifically to an object, it does not travel the path past that 
object.

But then, if that's the case, why does "beep" traverse the path? (You 
verified that, right? I haven't. I'm being all theoretical here.)
