Any syntactic cleanup likely for Py3? And what about doc standards?

I really distaste this "etc." in your description. In the end you
promote endless lists of command line parameters to configure every
possible function. I also doubt that the solution is more clean but
arbitray instead.

My own guess why properties are not promoted with more emphasis is
that they lead to cargo cult programming i.e. everyone starts to use
property syntax even when usual attributes are sufficient. So the
syntax might even be intentionally ugly.
