#if $property.sometimes_immutable:
Depending on the protocol, this property may be immutable which means that it can never #if $interface.is_channel_related: change once the channel has been created. Immutable properties SHOULD appear in the channel detail list of NewChannels signals. #else change. #end if
#elif $property.immutable:
This property is immutable which means that it can never #if $interface.is_channel_related: change once the channel has been created. Immutable properties SHOULD appear in the channel detail list of NewChannels signals. #else change. #end if
#end if #if $property.sometimes_requestable:
Depending on the protocol, this property may be requestable, which means that it may be allowed in the properties hash of a channel request such as in the CreateChannel and EnsureChannel methods on Requests and ChannelDispatcher. If supported on this protocol, the property should appear in either the Fixed_Properties or Allowed_Properties of a RequestableChannelClass advertised by the CM.
#elif $property.requestable:
This property is requestable, which means that it is allowed in the properties hash of a channel request such as in the CreateChannel and EnsureChannel methods on Requests and ChannelDispatcher. The property should also appear in either the Fixed_Properties or Allowed_Properties of a RequestableChannelClass advertised by the CM.
#end if $property.get_added() $property.get_changed() $property.get_deprecated() $property.get_optional() #if $property.emits_changed == $property.EMITS_CHANGED_UPDATES
When this property changes, the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged` signal is emitted with the new value.
#elif $property.emits_changed == $property.EMITS_CHANGED_INVALIDATES
When this property changes, the `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged` signal is emitted, but the new value is not sent.
#elif $property.emits_changed == $property.EMITS_CHANGED_NONE
The `org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged` signal is not emitted when this property changes.
#end if #if $property.is_connection_parameter:

Note: Connections implementing this property SHOULD provide a corresponding parameter named `$property.name` with the DBus_Property flag. Clients SHOULD update this property by calling UpdateParameters on the relevant Account rather than setting the property directly; change notification is via AccountPropertyChanged.
