&gt; Hmm. I guess one could argue that anything like this is really just syntactic
&gt; sugar, since you could rewrite it as:
&gt; 
&gt;     phase2event() {
&gt;          phase2();
&gt;     }
&gt; 
&gt;     event() {
&gt;         phase1();
&gt;         schedule event phase2event;
&gt;     }
&gt; 
&gt; Would this even be worth considering?
&gt; 

You have hit the very essence of what I am doing with your second 
example.  The first example would be an extension for me.  I hadn't 
thought of it until just now, when you bonked me over the head with 
it. :)

I think I will address the downside in my next reply.
