I understand the intention of your suggestion, but aside from using

props cannot be set/read while messages are locked?

It seems to me that the current behavior has only been a behavior for some
technical limitation in the engine, not because of a scripting need.  But
this is totally a perception on my part.  Otherwise, I'm all for *some*
(ANY) method for enabling custom prop setting/reading during locked
messages.

I don't know why the current situation is as it is, so my suggestion for allowing a flag to make getProp/setProp immune to message locking was aimed primarily at backward compatibility.

I guess the logical question for the community is:

How many of use have scripts that rely on the suppression of getProp or setProp via lockMessages?
