The thing about the propertyNames of object type property is that basically it 
would just be maintaining a list in the engine rather than in the docs or IDE 
or something.. There's no real way to inspect an object type to see what 
properties it has... Other than one idea I have of parsing over the lextable 
and testing the object for each property to see if there's an error when you 
try and get the property... But that's kind of brute force and would return all 
the synonyms too... I guess you could filter out the synonyms somehow... Still 
some architectural change may make this easy so it's better to start a topic on 
the engine forum.
