The doc string clarifies that this is not the point: "Return the position of next property change for a specific property." To avoid misunderstandings I suggest to consider a different name, expressing more properly the function. Thought at next-specified-property-change next-selected-property-change next-indicated-property-change next-named-property-change even next-singled-out-property-change Maybe an alias could be delivered. `previous-single-property-change' affected respectively. __ Andreas Roehler
