Then we could have "subset_initial_frame" and "subset_final_frame" as

Good point; clearly I was on autopliot typing that up! The property
should be specified inside the #include file, of course. Nothing wrong
with the current system, especially since the insert menu makes it
easier to put in #inclusion handlers; but this still requires changing
the name of the *_Temp variable in each of it's 4 or 5 appearances,
which can be a bit of a chore.
