Labels and aliases are acting as "special" properties, just that we cannot
decide which property to use instead of the default.
Now we have to enter twice the property, for instance "title" and again as
label "title", same for names, same for official names of towns, same for
everything... and even more so when the monolingual datatype is available.
Yes, a bot could do that, but perhaps we should ask ourselves if to have
all information twice makes sense?
