There's nothing in this API that necessitates roundtrips. If the editor
implementor wishes to cache all the edit-prop changes and send them at one
time (maybe at close_edit() time), it can choose to do so. Using a hash,
however, *forces* the editor driver to harvest all those properties into
memory at once. I don't see the value in that.

Plus, the interface as provided is consistent with the change_dir_prop() and
change_file_prop() interfaces, and consistency r00lz.
