Terminology is important and the terminology we currently have is *extremely* confusing.
And that is why I am reluctant having these pragmas 'crawl' into menu definitions.
Now that's just silly, sorry. Nobody is questioning the utility of these guys, whatever we call them.
Indeed. Nobody is questioning the utility. Personally, I still find "method property" to be the best name since it doesn't presume whether the property has an impact on code or not. A primitive can be a method property that represents code, a pragma can be a property that represents a compiler instruction, an annotation can be a property that is used for discovery.
