Semantics of 'original_message' and 'original_to' arguments to 'send' method. #24

DistAlgo version: 1.1.0b13
The use of 'original_message' and 'original_to' as arguments to the 'send' method must add value of 'original_message' and 'original_to' to the sent message sequence.
However, it does not support this behavior.
For example, ping.da is modified to illustrate this issue:

import sys
class Pong(process):
    def setup(total_pings:int): pass

    def run():
        await(total_pings == 0)

    def receive(msg=('Ping',), from_=p):
        output("Pinged")
        send(('Pong',), to=p)
        total_pings -= 1

class Ping(process):
    def setup(p:Pong, nrounds:int): pass

    def run():
        for i in range(nrounds):
            clk = logical_clock()
            send(('Ping',), to=p,  original_message=('Test',), original_to=self)
            await(some(received(('Pong',), clk=rclk), has=(rclk > clk)))
            output('Checking whether sent sequence contains original_message:')
            output(some(sent(('Test',)), has = True))

    def receive(msg=('Pong',)):
        output("Ponged.")

    def receive(msg=('Test',)):
        output('Received test')

def main():
    nrounds = int(sys.argv[1]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else 3
    npings = int(sys.argv[2]) if len(sys.argv) > 2 else 3
    config(clock='Lamport')
    pong = new(Pong, [npings], num= 1)
    ping = new(Ping, num= 1)
    setup(ping, (pong, nrounds))
    start(pong)
    start(ping)

Output:

The above program must report "Checking if Test is sent: True" but it reports report "Checking if Test is sent: False"
