Oh, I see wrote that e-mail too fast.  I meant to use the word 
"Selectors".  The object you pass to createActionTo$message.   The 
`messaging' aspect of Objective C (by itself, but very much when 
combined with Java) is costly in Swarm.  FAction calls don't have that 
overhead.  In the example a Selector is used to setup the FAction call, 
but it is only used as a convenience. The Selector in the example uses 
Java reflection to identify the method -- once identified the method is 
fast to call, unlike when the Selector is used directly in 
createActionTo$message.
