<g> I've stopped doing that for exactly that reason. Now when I feel
tempted to do that I'll make a local variable with get and set
handlers, then later on figure out the best way to deal with it.

Usually I will do what you do and end up with custom property sets,
but sometimes I will end up with local arrays. I do wish arrays
behaved themselves better, though.
