I'm well aware of the difference between the functions.  What we're talking 
about is just PM input messages being sent asynchronously.  The return 
value isn't used by PM for any reason other than notification that the 
message has been received.

Obviously there are issue which prevent a simple function substitution, but 
it's not fundamental to the operating in question, which is passing 
messages that do not require an informational response.
