Constructing and calling a handler as "do"

[Randall Lee Reetz]

The other caution i must issue here is that the internal scripting of the editor for instance might be written in odd ways so that it is distinguishable from user code and objects... So if your new wacko code practices happen to mimick these more official wacko styles, then you could walk your self into a situation not unlike an auto-immune cascade in biology.

Yes, I appreciate all that, and I've definitely done something similar on
many occasions, but what I like about Randall's approach is that it can work
for handlers and custom properties:-) Which brings and added bonus.

My gray matter definitely doesn't work like it use to and I've since found
it very very advantageous to name things exactly the same to avoid confusion
- so a mySQL column might be named the same as a field or custom property;
or fields may contain scripts with the name of the field matching the name
of the handler. mySQL (and probably other dbs) doesn't allow multi-word
column names, plus there are other traps if you use multi-word names in Rev,
like if you forget to quote.

Basically what I like most about Randall's approach is the use of 'item'.
Myself, and clearly others, have successfully used prefixes, char and word,
but have not extended the concept to  'item'.
