Definition of property is completely inconsistent. Definition of 
property with -property is also inconsistent. No desire to get 
toward a more consistent position from leadership.

Having 2 definition for the thing is bad for the language as it 
create fragmentation. If I'd had to choose I'd keep the -property 
behavior, but it seems like a lost battle at this point :(
