If your own scripts contain stacks that create other stacks, where would 
it find your LiveCode prefs when they become a standalone?

If the IDE set the template objects rather than setting properties on 
the created stack, it would be way too easy for your own scripts to have 
different behaviors between development and runtime, opening up the 
possibility of confusion and error.

As it is, if I understand this correctly the IDE leaves the engine 
defaults alone, which is what your script will be working with in a 
standalone.

Like my t-shirt sez:

Know the engine.
Trust the engine.
Use the engine.
