This kind of thing is a good argument for using a form of Hungarian Notation 
when naming variables and custom properties. I myself was just bit by this in 
LC 6.7 and 7.0. There was new property added—the editionType—which reports 
which edition, community or commercial, you are using. Unfortunately I had been 
using a property of that name for the last couple of years in a project. I went 
back and duly renamed it to [myProjectPrefix]_editionType and now the universe 
is happy again.
