Io and Semicolon conversion

With the removal of attachedMessage/attached, It looks like newlines are being treated as follows:

1. Newlines are converted to semicolon messages
2. After newlines are converted, if multiple semicolons appear in a sequence, replace them with one
3. Treat semicolon as an operator with the highest precedence

Is there more to this? Does the extra message introduce runtime overhead or is there something clever to get around this?

Thanks,

Brian

That sounds right.

The initial implement did full dynamic messages for semicolons, but
the current one effectively skips them.
