Changing these properties is pretty dangerous, because we will
effectively be changing a string API.  That means that apps that use
Beagle will still compile, but they will silently break when their old
string mappings don't line up to the new ones.  So I think it is
important for us to take the initiative ourselves to fix the
applications and add-on backends and filters that use Beagle.

I think it would be helpful to collect a list of these on the wiki
page and have it be a core part of this work.
