My first thought is that this is such a common idiom that we ought to have some syntactic sugar for it:say "Received $m message\s."
I don't think that a feature like this should be in the core language; it is too complicated as well as an open-ended problem.
A better use of this discussion is perhaps to determine whether any more basic core features would need updating in order to support a separate extension module to more easily provide the feature that was being discussed.
