Maybe it could.  To get the functionality I'm looking for it would
need to allow you to specify a list of events to receive and a list 
of events to save.  Each of which could include an "any" construct
(although obviously not both).

I initially rejected this idea because it carries the danger that 
you will not keep the state handler function clauses in sync with
the "receive vector".  This may not be that big a problem though.
