Would this actually be desirable?  Right now the system balks if the
property doesn't exist forcing an explicit declaration.  Setting the
create flag would allow typos, for example, to slip through silently.
It would also lull you into thinking you were logging an interesting
property, when in fact, you're just logging dummies.
