could mvars be used to receive more than one message at the same time?

in case somebody is wondering the model for message passing i am trying 
to test is the sys5 ipc message queues.

the idea is that it should be possible for each process to receive more 
than one message at the same time. this is not explicit in the test and 
i think we should change/update the test. i tried several designs for 
the plugin test, and i think each new one was better. this is still the 
first message passing test.
would it be ok if i changed the test or is the installed base too big? :-)
