[I also posted to applescript-implementors, but I thought users
might want to chime in on this topic.]
Should the 'properties' property return the 'class' property? Some
apps do, some don't. Does putting a 'class' property in a record
confer any undesirable behaviors upon that record in this case? For
example:
class of {class:string}
--> string
but of course you can't actually use it like a string:
character 1 of {class:string}
--> Can't get character 1 of {class:string}.
So this could be confusing for scripts. Is this a serious concern?
Is it useful/expected for 'properties' to return 'class'?
