hmm, in catching up with mail i saw damian's long property exegesis and
i replied with a suggestion asking to split the value/permanent (or as
above value/variable) props
and then i see this. good to know i am on the right wavelength.
but can a code ref a set of variable properties? that is why i am using
the term permanent (or set at compile time and unmutable).
another point: how can you delete properties? obviously this can only be
done with value properties. an accessor method has no clean way of
separating plain access $foo.bar() from some way to assign a null list
to it. you can assign an explict undef but that is not the same as
deletion.
so a delete_value_prop func/method should be supported in some fashion.
