PJ> What are FCall/FArguments?

A FCall (Foreign Call) is like a MessageProbe, except it can call into
different language environments.  FArguments, a parameter to FCall,
records the argument types and return types.  MessageProbe is now implemented
with FCall/FArguments.  The disadvantage of MessageProbe is that it 
doesn't currently have a clean way to set arguments.

PJ> I suppose there could be hidden problems in doing this kind of thing?

Well, one can spend N minutes coming up with a fragile subclassed
workaround or N minutes that makes the original more useful for
everyone.  You'll have to maintain the former, and we'll maintain the
latter.
