when the existing world is itself a man-made creation, and a rather
short-lived one at that, i think a lobotomy is perfectly justified.

No, I'm saying that almost all applications do not need to know about
or modify object properties, and therefore, they should be able to use
an API that doesn't include them.

The engine class of application does need to be able to modify them,
and ALSA is an excellent API for such things.
