Stack Level Local/Globals

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dennis,

I agree since I provide many tools for the community that are made to  
run in the IDE.
So I never use globals but I prefer to refer to some custom  
properties stored in specific custom property sets in my plugins or  
in the revPreferences stack.
BTW, I found that referring to custom properties is as fast as using  
global variables and they don't vanish when they are stored in  
revPreferences.
That's great :-)
But...
The main aim with Rev is to build standalones where this problem does  
not exist since all yours globals are of course stack global  
variables ;-)
