Before you go into that length maybe you could tell us, for example,
if we have an image object in a 3rd party library
and we want to draw a rectangle. Currently I write something like:

>>> myimage.draw_rect((x1,y1,width, height), RED)

Now, if I want to save this image  to a file:

>>> myimage.save("myfile.png")

So, how would these two simple examples be rewritten in  such a magic
message-only World?
