I am really getting scared. Allowing ((:property foo bar) ...) seems to
me to open up all sorts of evil and hairy possibilities. I can't name
them right now, but I think they're out there and we should all think
hard before swallowing this. If this turns out to be an error, it may
be too late to correct it by the time we realize the problem, since
we're going to press fairly soon. Consistency is OK in its place, but
we shouldn't let it push us around.
