There is online handler with the name (setPref).  It is in a library
stack.  There is no possibility of another handler of this name; it would
have to come from a several months old backup--and the IDE isn't stable
enough to have a stack from earlier in the morning, let alone months :

Having solved it for my own, I'm not going to worry about this any further
