What's in a group

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Scott,

There is hardly any difference. I suspect even that getprop 
handlers and functions return their "result" in exactly the same 
way.

The advantage of the property approach might be that you really 
don't need to think about what the target may be. The function 
needs a quoted string as a reference to an object while the 
getProp handler can refer to an object directly.

If someone can come up with a better explanation, I'd be pleased 
to know.

Best,

Mark
