I think the bigger reason is that a good scheme to prevent accessing custom
props in the IDE will also prevent them from being accessed at runtime by
your scripts.

An enhancement would address this:  there could be a mainstack property,
something like "devPassword", which would prevent stacks from being opened
in the IDE is set.  This should be done in the engine to prevent scripted
workarounds for access.
