I tested it, and for my org files this is slightly better:


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-put (property value here)
  (interactive (list nil nil current-prefix-arg))
  (if (null here)
      (org-set-property property value)
    (let* ((property (or property (org-read-property-name)))
           (value (or value (org-read-property-value property))))
      (save-excursion
        (beginning-of-line)
        (search-forward ":")
        (backward-char)
        (insert (format ":%s: %s\n" property value))
                (indent-for-tab-command nil)))))
#+END_SRC


But this might be just me. In any case I think this functionality is
very helpful.
