Not exactly. Plugin stacks are treated as IDE system stacks. So errors 
and breakpoints are silently ignored as long as gRevDevelopment is 
false. Setting that property to true enables debugging plugins without 
removing them from the Plugins folder but also exposes any errors in the 
other system stacks (the active breakpoints in the Project Browser, any 
script errors such as the one Bob uncovered).
