I believe this has to do with data integrity. All properties to be set by
another entity should be done via a verb instead of directly. I'd take a
look at the listing for @set on the JH core and I'll bet you find that,
under some circumstances at least, it forces you to use :set_foo. then go
ahead and do the eval instead.
