Actually

oSavedObject = EVAL(m.tcObjectName)
addproperty(oSavedObject, tcProperty, tuValue)

...should always work, except in some cases when property is protected or hidden - and checking for that is a good enough reason to make this a method or procedure. Otherwise, addproperty() would do the same without any need to call a method/procedure. Handling the case when we don't want to create a property if it didn't already exist is another reason.
