Yes, I suggested adding that option just as a general way to
manipulate properties for which there is not yet a specific interface.

Robert had an interesting response, if I recall:

 * adding the specific options is not that much harder and does need
to be done, so JFDI
 * Bazaar's user interface is not the programming interface, so we
don't necessarily want people to be able to set arbitrary properties
from the cli

So overall I'd say, if jml finds it useful then go ahead and add
--property, otherwise just --fixes.
