It's very useful in repeat loops, for this sort of thing:

repeat with x = 1 to the number of btns
   set the hilite of btn ("answer"&&x) to false
end repeat

It works for the name of any object. I don't know if the failure with 
custom properties is a bug or an oversight, but it is definitely 
inconsistent.
