Here's something obscure, be careful with type() because you'll fire Access methods of the property you want. That may be something you want, or not. That also includes this_access, I've used parameters objects that will automatically create properties you ask for on the object, and using Type() returned something I didn't want.

If you just wanna know if the prop is there, PEMStatus() is the safest way to go.
