I believe that if you put it inside a tell block, AS will first send

That'd be the core of my question. Is it a runtime thing, where the
interpreter sends the events to the app first, or is it a compile-time
thing, where the compiler checks the app's dictionary first and, not
finding the commands, just compiles them as builtins?
Also, if there is a terminology clash because the app has the same command
that does something different, the app will do it, and the results,
as they say, will be unexpected.
Indeed.
