Why do you need such a prefix?
To avoid an all-at-once conversion. I don't want to break -device and
maintaining string properties make it quite a bit easier to support
-device.
-device would use parse/print, not get/set. So it would still use the strings.
I don't want -device to have special knowledge of properties. I want it to set
the properties are strings. The property implementation is private to Object.
