Obviously Jeff is correct in all of his answers. Thank you Jeff! One comment: DictionaryDescriptor is a deprecated parameter name that is picked up by the piper creator when it inspects the code. However, I am not sure why the deprecated parameter name isn't working ...
The wiki needs additional and more thorough information. If anybody can volunteer to work on it I (and future users) would really appreciate it!
