I missed this the first time it went by, and I think it's central to (my) confusion about this...
Messages don't have anything comparable to the canvas' $0, but *message boxes do*! Why, therefore, is $0 not valid in a message box (as a way of embedding the canvas-identifier into a message), and further, why are people going so far as to suggest new, orthogonal meanings for $0 in a message box? Please, don't do this; it would only make the situation much more confusing!
Arrgh!
Phil
A possible alternative use for $0 in messages would be the selector ("list", "symbol", ...) as that is the thing before $1, but implementing that could be even more confusing to beginners.
Why would that be confusing to beginners?
Because it's not the $0 from object boxes.
