The proposal would not distinguish between properties having an effect and properties not having an effect. > That would have saved me a lot of frustration when trying to set > certain properties of certain grobs in the past. And you think when all properties of an interface are explicitly listed for a grob even if they don't have an effect, that would help? At the current point of time, properties with grob-specific value are the only ones listed specifically for a grob. Those are comparatively certain to have an effect on the grob (because why else bother setting a grob-specific value for them?). -- David Kastrup
