Should the rule be a general "just type the first x number of letters

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.
So, you want the rule to be: if it can be uniquely specified with one
letter, set it to anything beginning with that letter. Else, specify the
entire string.
I could live with that.
