I don't see a big problem with something like that:

if (isset($array['name.']])) {
    do something
} else {
    $JSfile = $array['name']
}

Only use stdWrap functions, when there are any parameters assigned to
name+'.'

This is why I always have been asking to assign stdWrap to all cObjects the
same way as it is done with TEXT objects.
HTML objects make it even worse, because the stdWrap is only available as
parameter of *value*.
COA, IMAGE, HMENU and some others use if and wrap separately, even though
they also use stdWrap.

> "stdWrap" for special operation.

This is no good comparison, because allWrap, wrapItemAndSub and linkWrap are
the *special* operations (for menuitems) while stdWrap is *default*. And
sdtWrap is used for the *text* of the menuitem only, while the special
parameters are applied to the ready made *link*. (except you set
doNotLinkIt=1, which again is a very special case)

On the other hand it would be fine for me to make it consistent by using
stdWrap as "the one and only" default parameter for all objects (making the
direct "wrap" and "if" deprecated but offering them together with all
stdWrap functions), while leaving the specialties to the first level of
parameters.

# deprecated will be removed in 4.6
10 = OBJECTNAME
10.wrap = <blah>|</blah>

# new default for all cObjects including those
# who still haven't got stdWrap functions
10 = OBJECTNAME
10.stdWrap.wrap = <blah>|</blah>

For me consistency is a must to tackle the famous "last 20%" :-)
