If you want to do stuff with the current card of a stack, then don't
use the currentCard property - 'this card of stack ...' *is* a chunk

Okay, I get that <object> id <number> is a legacy return value when
there is no name.
I'd just like to confirm that:
this card of stack "X"
and
the currentCard of stack "X"
refer to the same card, even if in different ways (actual object
reference vs short name)?
If so, I will switch to using "this card of stack". I had thought that
the 'this card' was always the card in the object hierarchy of the
object the script was running in and had forgotten that you could say
'this card of stack ...' to reference the active card in another stack.
