I don't get why we would want 'propdel --force' at all. Either the
"misspelled" property exists, or it doesn't.

If the "misspelled" property exists, probably the user already noticed
the typo, that's why they're deleting it! I see no need for --force
here.

If the "misspelled" property does not exist, I think the warning that
the property does not exist is just as good as a warning that they
misspelled it or forgot to use --force.
