Why not extend this to properties, too?
Because properties (and attributes) are metadata. At the moment
properties aren't ordered, but they could be I suppose. (well...
maybe) Attributes certainly are. You may want to access them by name
or by offset, in which case you wouldn't want an as-property flag in
the key, but rather use a key structure to access properties and
attributes.
