right, not the signal system, but the proeprty setting/getting stubs make
sure that no invalid proeprt ids or pspecs are apssed in to get/set
property. it also ensures you that set values are always compliant
to ranges (or other constrains) specified in the pspecs.

however, think about forgetting to handle a certain property id in the
switch statement when coding up a set/get implementation, that's
what these macros catch.
