Has anyone on the list ever found a modelling problem where they have to
pass messages to objects that they are not sure can respond to them? I never
have, perhaps because of my training as a functional programmer, or perhaps
because my modelling domains are normally simpler or better defined than the
example Glen cites below, which I think is a very ambitious one!
Well, this is something that has been on my mind since I started using
Swarm over 4 years ago, so I look forward to some good examples!

How important this is to modeling is left as an exercise to the
reader. (Hint: Do you think two humans know a-priori which methods
the other responds to? ;-)
