Further delving into properties turn up a problem:  The standard properties
code doesn't have a pointer to the diagram at all.  Either one will have to
be passed down through object_get_props_from_offsets(), or the objects will
have to hold a pointer to their diagram, or something else entirely.
Cyrille, do you have any ideas?
