In the case of overlay’s applying a property change the old property has
been already retrieved. Passing it as an argument saves us a traversal of the
property list.
On the original series were removal was supported, the old property was required
since you can’t find the old property anymore on the node (it was on another list).
When we go back to revisit the removal case, that API is useful.
