For the record, in my opinion having a property setting in this manner is very helpful... instead of needing another property setting to enable verbose output. In way, its similar to having either one variable for a human name, vs two variables (one to hold the first name, one to hold the last name). If you ever need to separate the two, you just read only part of the String. If you have a program that hardly ever reads the names separately, then this type of optimization makes sense. I'm sure this was something reasonable for the developers as they were putting this together. Not only that, but it was probably also an attempt at offering convenience.
