It seems more logical to always assume variables will be evaluated prior to script execution. Yes, but the man page doesn't say that it's a variable: it says that the property thing in the "set" statement is the name of a property. The name. Not "a variable evaluating to a name". And I think th

Yes it's a feature and it's a very powerful one Ok, I'll accept that. But the man page is wrong: it says (and I still don't know how to cut/paste from the documentation; is that possible?) "The property is a built-in property name or a custom property name." That should be "is a property name,
