Suspend development tools in IDE

[Mike Kerner]

did you dive into the ide repo? that makes searching pretty simple. it
appears in two ide stacks:
revfrontscriptlibrary
revmessagewatcher

in the livecode repo, it appears in the source in a few places as
MCMessageMessages

in all cases it appears to be used as a boolean.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
