And both of these cases support the assumption that this is a property 
that's used by code and not something you care for otherwise. Which is 
why the property isn't documented for each class.

That's why I asked OP what he wanted to use it for, since I think he's 
going in a wrong direction and there is some other way to achieve 
whatever it is he is doing.
