    Suppose there an object #A defines a property .example and a verb :example(),
    and suppose #B is a child of #A.  Then although #B inherits both of these from
    #A,

    ;property_info(#B, "example")
    => okay

    ;verb_info(#B, "example")
    => E_VERBNF  (assuming that #B doesn't itself define a verb :example() )

    Shouldn't both of these return errors, or else both be okay?  I know that
    inheritance has no effect on the rwxd flags of a verb, while an inherited
    property can have different rwc values than its parent's property, but still,
    it seems a little inconsistent....
