One of the attractions of the "@iterator" form is that it has pretty good ergonomics. If somebody wanted to use them but not not clutter the actual string with a name space qualifier (which may be a bit noisy, but is still a lot better than a GUID) they would have to use a Registry to access a friendly string property key.
