Saying "setproperty" has too many ambiguous mental parsings. When does "set" take place -- assigning a value to a property is different defining the property itself. Is "set" a verb so that we're talking about a property of sets/frozensets. Is "set" a completed action so that the property has been set. | | Let's stick with "propset" which has precedent as an svn action and serves as a short, simple mnemonic to the functionality. | | Also, I find that these unique words are easier to search for. I once co-owned a magazine called Know Your Boston and it was very difficult for clients to find using Google. 'propset' would have the virtue of following 'property' in the alpha listing of functions in the manual.
