I use properties all the time for variables that need to be accessible by
numerous handlers.
I find using properties simpler than sending/returning/resetting local
variables in every handler call and reply. (although I know that's
considered a better practice).
I reset the values I don't want to be persistent, but not on quit, I do it
first thing when the script launches.
The whole scheme of having properties and globals maintain persistent
values has been criticized before, and writing back to a script app has
also raised eyebrows, but now I'm wondering if it's going to become a real
issue one day?
