I don't think the “tell ___ and myself” block is necessary, that block without the myself in there does the job.

tell [sprite1 v] and myself {
}::control

The

tell [sprite1 v] and myself {
}::control

helps if you want the sprite that has the code also use the code.

tell [sprite1 v] to {

Literally a three block workaround. Plus, how many times do you need this anyways?

tell [sprite v] to {

A two block workaround.
Those workarounds are all in the same category.
Plus, that's the purpose of broadcasts.
To tell other sprites to do something.
Are you trying to ruin broadcasts?
No support.

Although the workaround is fairly simple the block I suggested would help with the organization of code greatly, it would also be usefull for games like scrolling platformers where the ground needs to move and a tick broadcast can cause bugs.
When using broadcasts they're also slower if you use the broadcast and wait block and although faster if you just use the regular broadcast the code from the two sprites may not run at the same time causing jittering and possible glitches. That is why I suggested this.
In addition, this block would enable much more precision with the timing of your code without actually making like 20 broadcasts to do the same thing.
Last but not least this block would be incredibly usefull in layering sprites.

Because people aren't interested. Not everybody's suggestions are supposed to be on the first page and active
