It does need to apply object by object - as you do generally want this on.
Turning it off happens on a case-by-case basis where you're doing something
cool that the field object probably wasn't originally designed for (such as
a multi-column list). In such a case, no way do you want to have an extra
object there to draw the border with. As such it has to be 2 or 4, and I
would go for 4, as 2 is going to be a real hassle from the cross-platform
point of view (you have to turn this property off on Mac for buttons, but
then turn it on again on UNIX).
