In my instance I am already setting a property or two so using  
setProp fits in. Generally, I use commands and functions to "do"  
things whereas properties are about states. I have never felt very  
comfortable about using a command to change a state (or collection  
thereof) rather than to process information, if you go along with the  
distinction.

The fact that we also use custom properties for data can distract  
from their state-nature.
