That one I know for sure, it's stated everywhere.....

They're NOT tested as their counterparts. The capitalized ones (i.e. the LOCAL
ones) are set with NO trailing backslash. The global (uncapitalized) ones are
set WITH the trailing backslash.
BTW, I still don't know WHERE the capitalized ones are set.... I don't know
installer so in depth. Maybe do you ?

Well, for me it is... (to find WHERE capitalized props are set and WHY they're
different from global ones)

Yep, it was too early.
Now I understand the difference from capitalized props and uncapitalized ones.
