Your patch adds multiple new examples. My comment was at appropriate
place to fix, although only the first place. I did not refer to
unrelated pieces or other parts of the code. Specifically - I wrote
nothing about property.

No worries, I asked for new code.

Again, I did not comment under a property. I did not refer to any property.
