OK I think it's possible with mixins but the syntax is ugly.  It would be

Event event = mixin(dispatch("&foo.bar"));

Which leads me to an idea that has probably been proposed before.  It would 
be nice if I could shorten this to simply

Event event = dispatch(&foo.bar);

There may be reasons why this syntax would be difficult to achieve, but I 
think it would be worthwhile if we could.

Thoughts?
