<zahary_> fowl, sorry, turns out I haven't documented it yet

<zahary_> be warned that we have plans to rename it to static[string]

<zahary_> otherwise it's very simple - when the compiler see a parameter like that, it will try to evaluate statically the passed argument

	there are 3 types of messages
	1) statically dispatched to a certain component:
	if has(Component): get(Component).doMessage(args)

	2) dynamically dispatched to a single component
	let (offset, proc_ptr) = entity->typeinfo->vtable[messageID]
	proc_ptr(entity->data[offset], args)

	3) dynamically dispatched to every component that implements them (multicast messages)
	let runlist = entity->typeinfo->multicast_vtable[messageID]
