what about the "wrap" properties most of the cObjects have?

In the current implementation I do see a difference between e.g.
COA.wrap and COA.stdWrap.wrap:

COA.wrap
- a string with a pipe character as separator
- the string can be created and modified via stdWrap properties

COA.stdWrap.wrap
- a string with a configurable (".splitChar") separator
- no stdWrap properties here

The execution order would change, too. Currently COA.wrap would be
executed before COA.stdWrap.innerWrap. After your suggested change
COA.wrap would be executed after COA.innerWrap.

Are there any ideas to get that done in a backwards compatible way?

Cheers,
Thorsten
