Should the rule be a general "just type the first x number of letters necessary to uniquely specify the property?" I think I like that better than the user being able to type:

self.Alignment = "Victory"

but I like the user being able to type "v", "vert", etc. and have it interpreted as "Vertical".

If they type 'Victory', then they're just being stupid. If alignment is either Horizontal or Vertical, and you set it to something beginning with 'h' or 'v', then you're good.

I don't like the 'minimum letters to uniquely specify the property' rule; look at the BorderLineStyle property to see why.
