There could be a way to cobble this into the StdProp code ; however: how
would you reflect these properties into the shape's appearance ? 
OTOH, the UrShapes project may be heading towards what you want to do;
unfortunately, for both mainline dia and UrShapes, things look extremely
quiet nowadays. On my side, I currently have barely enough spare cycles left
to tag invalid bugs as invalid, but I can't keep up with the flow of valid
new bugs, let alone finish (at last !) the first phase of the UTF-8
transition :(

So, in short, the usual answer stands: patches heartily welcome.
