//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Implementation
//
//  Currently, a call to importance.val() recalculates the value each 
//  time it is called:  val() in a subclass returns val() in the parent
//  class plus one or more aspects.  These aspects change, mostly
//  in calls to importance.take_msg().
