Well, if it is correct, we aren't even hitting the bit of the code where
it is enforced. (or at least I haven't spotted it)

I have traced the code and I am finding :

- nm_setting_new_from_hash() is being called 
- it is calling parse_one_setting()
- which then calls nm_setting_new_from_hash()
- the hash table has 2 properties inside(method,routes)
- one_property_cb() is called on both those properties and is successful
at adding them to the list
- back in nm_setting_new_from_hash(), g_object_newv() is called with the
property list (method and routes)
- a NMSettingIP4Config is constructed, and these properties are set:
 6(ignore auto routes), 7(ignore auto dns), 10(never default), 1(method)

Why is set_property not called for the routes property?
Is it because routes is a _nm_param_spec_specialized? (I'm not exactly
sure what the difference is between this and the regular glib param
specs)
