Am I confusing this with Property Sheets?

...but OTOH, some collections of objects need that variability... you can't
always predetermine the schema, right?  Though one could specifically create
other kinds of containers to hold random collections of stuff.  But then,
for someone getting started, it increases development time since you then
have to create interfaces, management, etc. etc. which is already there for
Properties....
