I use "u" before my custom property names to distinguish them from  
built-in properties for several reasons. First, I won't be bollixed  
when new properties are added to the built-in properties that happen  
to collide with my well-thought out property name; second, it draws  
the distinction succinctly in the script between a property that's  
meaningful for the task and those pertaining only to the GUI; and  
third, I can help myself avoid runtime errors because typing "put xxx  
into uYYY" throws a terezaSyntaxError.
