How to detect if NoteColumn has an arpeggio with 2.18.0?

Hi, how can I detect whether a NoteColumn has an arpeggio? With 2.16.2 I used to use (ly:grob-object grob 'arpeggio) Though, with 2.18 the 'arpeggio-property was removed. How to do it nowadays? For reference look at the terminal output of: arpeggio-at-note-column-info = \override
