I absolutely don't like having New* stuff, since (1) this requires anyone 
using it early to adjust the syntax later on again and (2) it suggests 
that this is either something super-duper-great or experimental, which 
is both not true. It's rather just the problem that the existing syntax 
shouldn't be changed for now.

So,for now I would simply apply that patch so that the properties get 
interpreted, but don't add a new command, which will be changed in the 
next version again. Anyone who whats to use them (basically, that's me 
for now),can always write our own mycresc or even overload the existing 
cresc command as postfix.

Cheers,
Reinhold
