If it was all code, this would be cleaner indeed.

I'm trying to have a single-line custom property of a group that evaluates
to the correct query.

There are a great many groups to loop through, some with such a property,
others without.  Save for the table name, though, which varies by client,
the query is the same each time.

Jacqui's suggestion of merge has also lead me to getProp . . .

I suppose I could file a bug report for value()'s dictionary entry not
xrfeffing merge . . .

But I'm still bothered by value() not respecting quotation marks.  Except
for a couple of unix shells, this seems to be a unique handling of a string.
