I'm not sure what you're talking about.  Do you mean the .get()?  If so,
this is what is known as the "round bracket hack" and it is necessary to
deal with dynamic property names ($var.get($propName)) or non-compliant
property names ($var.get("Some wacky property!?@#$%!")).

[BTW, AFAICT, the above code will fail since the string "marc" doesn't have
a "SomeOtherProp".]
