// you're going to leak a property, which could lead to failure to set a
// property later on.
//
// *WARNING*
// SetProp is very fragile. SetProp makes use of a finite chunk of memory that
// is very easy to exhaust. Unless you need to share a property across process
// boundaries you should instead use ViewProp, which does not cause leaks at the
