I tallied the votes.

Function: Mail Mantis, bearophile, Jacob Carlborg, Olivier Pisano, Ary Manzana, torhu.

Property: Nick Sabalausky, Simen Kjaeraas.

I wasn't able to discern a clear vote from the others. Please correct the list.

Votes ?!?

I think byKey and byValue are oddly named, property or not. Since you asked, I think they should be properties. But I don't care really. What I care about is consistency.

Voting on a case by case basis is just nonsensical. What's needed are guidelines and rationales covering how to name things and by extension what should and shouldn't be a property. If something needs to be put to vote, it should be those guidelines.

I attempted a while ago to write some guidelines on the wiki, feel free to use them if they make sense to you.
