What I meant is that if we ever decide to change the property names
again, then it might be more convenient if the old property names
weren't hardcoded in the string.

I don't think it's any easier at all.  If the property names were to
change, we'd do it with a search and replace, and it would get them in
the warning string every bit as easily as it would get them in a
separate string.

If there were a programmatic way to get the property name out of the
LilyPond structure, then I could see doing that.  But we know the names,
and use them to get the data out of the grob structure.

Thanks,

Carl
