Hi!

It seems the discussion in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/84744/ is 
slowed down, so maybe we'll discuss it here?

The full history is that I've recently discovered a strange SMW 
behavior - type-named properties with enforced type. I.e. property named 
"email" ALWAYS has email type, and you cannot override it. Markus said 
it was done for some sort of backwards compatibility (details are in 
gerrit), and I think it's an unevident behaviour, so I still think it 
should be disabled...

To not break things with disabling this "feature" I suggest creating a 
maintenance script (run as part of update.php) which will look for usage 
of type-named properties and create them with [[has type::<name>]] if 
they're really used.

What do you (SMW developers), and this mailing list subscribers in 
general, think about it?
