RFC. ;)

I'll write the documentation when/if the properties are accepted.

Missing space? Sorry, typo, I'll change.

No, I don't think that it does? The original code returns -EINVAL unless 
a value is specified.

The original author is keen to have a clear error message in case users 
try to specify non-exact values. I'd rather we fail-out than use 
incorrect values which would be a great deal harder for a user to debug.
