  # XXX This is a problem -- whether the object exists or not often
  # depends on the results of other properties, yet we're the first property
  # to get checked, which means that those other properties do not have
  # @is values set.  This seems to be the source of quite a few bugs,
  # although they're mostly logging bugs, not functional ones.
