Frustrating: gettings the objects in a group

The dictionary says:

"childControlNames
Type: property
Syntax:  get the childControlNames of group
Objects (or Types): group”

But as I noted earlier you can use “controlNames” or “controlIds”. The short form is not mentioned in the dictionary entries for childControlNames or childControlIds. 

Another undocumented use is:
   put the controlNames of this card
   put the controlIds of this card

So while the dictionary days these are properties of only groups, they appear to also be properties of cards.
