So what? There are already about 200 distinct properties in Emacs
attached indirectly to functions and variables via symbols, and they
modify the default behavior, so the documentation should reveal them
to users.

And Emacs is Emacs (_extensible_, _customizable_, _self-documenting_
real-time display editor).
