Mark, re Inspector and custom property names with commas:
> I agree its an annoyance - and is something which is resolvable
1. Great news! Because that code/data reality is hard to avoid:
- EVERY shipping LC app's stack has cRevStandaloneSettings ...
- If the IDE or app has build glitches, we need to check props -
- Right now, even VIEWING them with Inspector can CORRUPT data.
Likewise, you confirmed commas work with set[prop] and indirect syntax.
Thus, users do it - just like LC Ltd does; goose/gander - important fix.
2. Here's a set of 3 other Custom Property editor Scroll/Selection Bugs:

Hat-trick to make the Inspector succeed at custom property editing -
Just need to fix the scrolling glitches and lost selections.
3. And YES to your proposal, thanks:
> an obvious syntactic extension would be allowing
> quoting of the property keyword: the "foo,bar,baz" of me.
Here's a "get" Request and "set" Bug report for reliably quoting custom
property names:
