what do you do when you are bored?

i was bored the other night at work and thought to myself "how come custom controls can't be called like first class controls?".. this is what i came up with < http://shaosean.tk/runrev/rnd/screencap ... andler.mp4 >
the two buttons are calling the "pig" command in the button "targetControl".. standard rev way is using send (I guess I could have used dispatch, but the idea is the same).. my way, well, you can see the code [if you can't, the code is posted here as well]
targetControl
standard rev way
shaosean's way
you can pass an arbitrary amount of parameters as well.. will work on doing functions next week.. i was working on a dot notation version, but rev crashed.. i wonder if the engine objected

Interesting !... perhaps boredom at work should set in more often..
