Okay, that seems reasonable to have a property for. Can you add that
info to the commit message please?

On another note, I like it when the property name explains why you would
add it, rather than the thing it is trying to solve.
Named after the disease, rather than the symptoms, if you get me. I
tried to come up with a name here, but could not really suggest
something good. If you can think of something, that'd be good, but don't
stress it.

Thanks,
Conor.
