Can we handle messages more directly?

Detailed description
Moved this one over from the old feature requests tracker at SourceForge.

Another suggestion from Hal Fulton (and I think Avi Bryant, once upon a time). It might be interesting to see how we
could let objects handle messages from FOX objects more directly. Currently, an object registers its interest in
"handling" a message by calling its connect() method (or by using FXMAPFUNC to map a message type
and identifier to an instance method). Could instead map incoming message types directly to an instance method of the
same name, e.g. if an object receives SEL_COMMAND it invokes the sel_command() instance method.
