Nigel,
But “Calendar” and Script Editor do not behave the same way.
You can tell Calendar to return every calendar and it will compile properly

Script Editor is a different beast, it used to be
Script Editor then AppleScript Editor and then Script Editor again.
I believe the last change because of Jax.
