+        every message handler can have one or both of the following:
+        - a message name (in this case, 'init')
+        - a set of one or more parameters (wrapped in parentheses if the message
+          has a name)
+
+        each parameter has an internal name and an (optional) label, specified
+        as a pair of identifiers separated by a colon (:). the label comes
+        first, and is the name used by whoever is sending the message the
+        internal name comes second, and is used by the message handler itself as
+        a variable name.
+
+        you can omit the label for a parameter by specifying an underscore (_)
+        as the label, but this is not recommended. it looks weird, it obscures
+        the meaning of the message, and is really only supported for
+        compatibility with lambdas.
