The point may be obvious - but I neglected to mention that, if the quit
handler changes the value of a property, the change is also registered
immediately. This could clearly affect any idle handler operations that use
the property. (Handy for checking a quit flag - but otherwise potentially
unwelcome.)

Since, it appears to make no difference whether such a change is invoked
before or after the 'continue quit' statement, some conditional routine
within the quit handler might be required.
