From: "Russel Blau" russblau@imapmail.org:
My favorite would be to use @property on both, but it's one more step against backward compatibility.
That would be my favorite, too, but I didn't do it for the very reason you suggest.
PS: I can work on a patch for this upon request, if needed.
I'll take you up on that offer. :-)

So, after some time spent checking that eveything (hopefully) works correctly, I've uploaded the patch on sourceforge's tracker[1]. This is quite a huge one, but as long as my tests were complete, it seems ok.
