{ ==========
The problem is to execute the previous method for the same message in a [+SWITCH.

I suspect there exist a possibility to start the search-process from the previous list-node entry.

My solution here is to redef [+SWITCH as a [SWITCH. But its not very nice.

A better method will be interesting.

0 VALUE (PREV-SWITCH-XT)

: [+SWITCH
>IN @ >R
    ' DUP TO (PREV-SWITCH-XT) \ save previous switch
    R@ >IN ! :SWITCH \ redef switch with previous as default
    R> >IN ! [+SWITCH ; \ execute [+switch
