Hmm. 
The messages are a problem. They make it harder to create new interfaces,
they are hardly extendable, they are not smart linkable and last but not
least they make debugging more difficult. There are already far too many of
them. I think, we should try to keep only the most common needed for delphi
compatibility and replace the rest with methods.
