Just want to express that this is very, *very*, /very/, VERY, bad.

Thank you for pointing that out. However, ... 

The whole property API is a big anti-pattern that FreeType has adopted.  Still, using it to set boolean, integer, or string values is justifiable.

Please explain to me why it's an "anti-pattern"? What's wrong with the property API? What could be a better alternative? Just for my own understanding! :)
