Probably not.

I'm not familiar with how Goldwater works, but maybe you can
turn the message passing system around and create an event
system for messages instead.

e.g. message consumers register for specific types of messages
from a message provider.

C# can support this, using the event syntax.

public delegate void MessageType(...parameters...)

public class Provider
{
    public event MessageType Message;

    private void foo()
    {
        // emit the message
        if(Message != null)
        {
             Message(...arguments...);
        }
    }

}

public class Consumer
{
    public void Register(Provider p)
    {
        p.Message += new MessageType(handler);
    }

    private void handler(...parameters...)
    {
        // handle the message
    }
}

Just a suggestion.  Maybe it isn't possible to rearrange things
like this, but may be worth giving a little thought to.

Cheers,

Rhys.
