  ##   "__objname__" : replaced by the current object name;
  ##   "__prop__"    : replaced by the current property name;
  ##   "__modemsg__" : replaced by a message explaining that
  ##                   the propmode will be toggled to "manual".
  ##   "__fcnmsg__"  : replaced by a message explaining where to find
  ##                   documentation on the form of a callback function.
  ##   You may also cross reference properties using the label format
  ##   OBJNAMEPROPERTY, e.g., "@xref{XREFaxescolor, , axes color property}."
  ##
  ## -"valid": string that describes valid values for the current property.
  ##   Use "packopt" function to join options with " | " separator
  ##   and "markdef" to mark default among valid values between curly braces.
  ##   If not provided, valid values for radio properties are automatically
  ##   retrieved using set function.
  ##
  ## -"default": string.  If not provided the default value is automatically
  ##   retrieved using get function.
  ##
  ## -"printdefault": a boolean (def. true) that specifies whether the
  ##   default value should be printed.  It is useful for properties
  ##   like root "screendepth" that default to screen dependent values.
  ##
  ## -"category": a string that is used to group properties.  Properties
  ##   without category designations will be defaulted into a "Miscellaneous"
  ##   category.  The "Miscellaneous" and (if it is used) the "Unused"
  ##   categories will be sorted to the end of each document.
