I am afraid it is not possible for the reasons Philip has already mentioned. As long as we use these properties in the on-disk format, we cannot alter their names without breaking compatibility. Unfortunately, I am unaware of a solution that would allow us to stop checking these properties against a predefined list of names. Even with theoretically possible options like using a special namespace in the newer filesystem formats or making these filesystems use something else than a set of temporary props for the transaction flags, we'd still require this check somewhere in order to be backward compatible.
