this whole read-only source nonsense is getting annoying

Yes.
And in a related subject, this, from the "Scripting Guide" documentation:
"Layer nullLayer attribute
app.project.item(index).layer(index).nullLayer
Description
The Layer nullLayer attribute is true if the layer was created as a null object, false otherwise.
Type
Boolean; read/write."
... is incorrect. The nullLayer attribute is read-only.
So is there any way to change a null to be visible (i.e., to be a "normal" solid) through scripting? By hand, we can just replace footage with the original source solid to make it visible (or, rather, visible-able). Which brings me back to the original subject line, see?
Anyone want to chime in?
p.s. happy holidays!
p.p.s. doing a nesting kludge (precomping) is already known to me ...
