Possible bug in LC6.7 - maybe one for Mark Schonewille?

[Bob Sneidar]

The one and only LC convention I attended many years ago addressed naming methods in one of their sessions. The idea was to always use some kind of prefix that no one else would ever use in their libraries, and that would never conflict with any reserved words that might crop up in the future. Using project Prefixes seems a great way to accomplish this.

This kind of thing is a good argument for using a form of Hungarian Notation when naming variables and custom properties. I myself was just bit by this in LC 6.7 and 7.0. There was new property added—the editionType—which reports which edition, community or commercial, you are using. Unfortunately I had been using a property of that name for the last couple of years in a project. I went back and duly renamed it to [myProjectPrefix]_editionType and now the universe is happy again.
