That's part of why I named it "btw" in the first place. The problem with
"prop" is it's not quite obscure enough.
I think it would be better if we stilled two curds with one bone. We
can have a more obscure name, plus differentiate the prop tables at the
same time. So how 'bout we have two methods, such as:
$foo.variable_is
$foo.value_is
Season to taste.
