'Blessed' plugins

[Geoff Canyon]

Upon further reflection, there seems to me to be a clear-cut case for a 
custom property. The concept in question, "Can I drag controls onto 
this stack?" is distinguishable from the existing property cantModify, 
which as Hugh points out has broader implications.

I'd argue for using a more specific name, something like 
revCantReceiveDroppedControls, or revCantDropControls. It only needs to 
exist in development environment stacks (and plugins) so it doesn't 
pollute stacks under development. Finally, all the work is on the part 
of the IDE developers (not us) so we don't have to worry about using 
brain-cycles on this...
