I'm using `RED.nodes.eachNode` to inspect nodes at runtime, which returns the node definitions. However, I can't find a property or method to check if a node is disabled. Is there a way to access this information within the runtime?

The disabled node will have a property `"d": true`.

e.g.

```auto
RED.nodes.eachNode(n => {
  if (n.d === true) {
    // it is disabled
  }
})

```

Thanks. I saw that on the front end but not the back end. I double-checked, and I am seeing it now. I must have overlooked it.
