In effect you are right (and I misremembered), but override pushes onto context-maintained lists which are ultimately used as template when make_grob gets called and _then_ the overriden properties end up on the immutable list. > I thought of removing the other function too, and I agree in principle, but it > can only break more user files. As long as we're not considering reorganizing > the immutable lists, I think it can stay. Note that there is no necessity of returning a bonafide part of the grob structure: one can construct a list of properties on the fly. Particularly because this is used read-only and only occasionally. https://codereview.appspot.com/549840044/
