That would be nice.  Or your can make a function with 
executionContexts, but remember to go two up in this case.

I had heard that using executionContexts was discouraged.  It would be 
great if it was supported or blessed or maybe just the function you 
asked for was provided.

I'd use it to make functions that call back as socket commands do.  As 
it is, I now specify the object by adding a parameter which takes 'the 
long id of me'.  Some folks compromise and use 'target' in the callee 
and this often works.  I also use a function that creates a "callback" 
value, but at this time it takes 'the long id of me'.

Once you are comfortable with Bugzilla, you might want to submit an 
enhancement request for this.
