Aha, that's nicer then, and sounds similar to how I was hoping it would 
work (with the name (e.g. "StringProperty") as the actual name used by 
humans).  I will miss the foo:bar type syntax, but that's OK I guess if 
in the new syntax things are equally expressive but terse.

Curious what the "bug" is; what's missing from s5 that will fix this? 
(Curious so I can understand S5 a bit more.)

Thanks!   Does one just run voscodegen with the xod file as input to 
generate the code?
