It is obvious that -property needs to be fixed before it becomes the normal
behavior. It is _not_ obvious that it will not become the normal behavior. The
-property flag was created explicitly so that its implementation could be fixed
_before_ making it the normal behavior and so that programmers had time to fix
their code before it become enforced.

I'd say the -property switch is there to make the fruitless
bikeshedding discussions about @property disappear. Nothing else makes
sense. Its inclusion obviously has been rushed (the error message does
not even follow English grammar) and it _only_ implements the one
restriction that does not objectively matter.
