> MessagingService.instance() is only used to get the perf gain from not allocating a new object everytime we send a message or get a verb handler. There is no instance data munged during it's existence and the way even the one instance is used currently is not thread-safe. It's basically a singleton with a weirdo lock around it's creation.
> It seems kind of silly to have all the mental overhead of Yet Another Not-Constructor Constructor. We could do many things instead. One idea is to just make MessagingService.instance a public property of it and be done with the whole thing.
