Re: ft:object small bug with r_stFields?

Did this code come from anywhere in Core, or was it custom code? You're
right, a "prefix" value passed to ft:object of a UUID starting with a
number would be bad... From memory, by default FarCry uses "fc" followed by
a UUID with the dashes stripped, so perhaps we just need to clarify in the
code and the docs that the "prefix" value must be a valid CF variable name
- definitely something to be aware of.
