I think the way picked to do the change is, now, of secondary 
importance. Prioritary is to decide what is the aim of that 
change.

OTOH, I reallyy do not like "@prop" (proposal? proposition? 
property? proponent?), maybe a better name is needed.

Tooo bad, I feel like the best word for that, namely "@property" 
was wasted.
