Yes, I know this. The benefits of regular structure are unrelated to my
request for freedom from the constraints of such regularity.

I can accept a complexity argument, if my request were really "a separate
code-path". I'm not sure it is. For example, my needs could be satisfied by
something as simple as:

    (defun parse-org-entry (...)
        (let ((props (funcall 'parse-org-properties-function ...)))
           ...))

`parse-org-properties-function' would point to a function that does what Org
8.3 does now. This gives me the option of porting over the 8.2 version and
keeping the old behavior. All that needs to be done is to allow this hook, no?
