I would rather not create another `PropertyType`. If the defaults are fixed
memory, users probably won't switch to percentage. If you are worried about
certain properties, I could add some text to the description of those
properties that fixed memory amounts should be used. Even if we limit
percentage, users can still misconfigure things by setting fixed memory values
that are too high or low for that property.
