- Implement dsb_msg_chain(id, target_id) as an additional token for object instances.

I was originally going to do this, but after having more than a few headaches and realizing the number of ways you could crash DSB and ESB with arbitrarily adding or deleting chained objects, I've decided that it's simplest to just say msg chains are for internal use and will never be directly editable.

What are you trying to do that needs one? I'm sure we can figure out how to dynamically create it in code (in a specialized way that won't break anything) or figure out an alternative mechanic :)

Ah, nothing particular, I'm just targeting a lot of stuff. In fact, what would be really cool is a mind-machine interface. Can you add that to esb ?
