  Yeah already found that. Easy to find it via grep in the html 
documentation.

  I'm not sure what to think regarding the -property switch. I've 
used it while tinkering with BitArray. I think libraries 
themselves should adhere to the stricter form, but user code can 
be more relaxed. If the calling is just user preference then it 
depends on how they see and understand the call based on the look 
of it. Maybe it will get thrown away...
