Me too.

I see something like a command tree in my mind:

prop
  |--set
  |--get
  |--edit
  |--del

Especially if Subversion supported command line completion it would be
much easier to type "prop" <TAB><TAB> in order to see which actions
could be performed on a property.

When doing software development I prefer a name convention like
module_action_property() or ModuleActionProperty(), like
lcd_clear_display(). When a new project is based on some existing code
I even prefer to use project_module_action_property() in order to be
able to distinguish between my own new code and existing code, e.g.
U-Boot or Linux kernel sources.
