singleton_delete_prop needs to stick around, even if it looks like it isn't
in use now. I was going to use it to record deleted properties in a prop
values hash. However, when I was away in July, Joe added a second hash table
and put deleted props in there. I preferred a single "prop changes" table.

The singleton [hash value] DELETE_THIS_PROP is used to identify the deleted
props.
