Unless I have missed something in the e-mails, the new syntax is to
concatenate new variables to the var property. Not modifying the values
currently stored in some variable. That is,
  #+property: var   foo=2
  #+property: var+  5
(not specifying the variable name ) should not be allowed and
  #+property: var   foo=2
  #+property: var+  foo=5
  #+property: var+  bar="bar"
should result in foo=5 and bar="bar". Is modifying a variable also a new
feature?
