To synchronously invoke two objects within the same vat / actormap,
use $:
($ near-object args ...) ;=> something
Provide a synchronous call against the current message handler of
NEAR-REFR, which must be a near live-refr? in
the same vat as the currently running actor context. The value
returned is that which is returned by the current behavior of
NEAR-REFR upon invocation (or, if NEAR-REFR chose to
bcom something else, the second argument passed to its
bcom, or is unspecified? if not provided.)
