setprop (symbol, property, value)
The symbol whose property will be set.
A symbol which identifies the property to be set.
The new value of the property.
All symbols in Gamma may have properties assigned to them. These properties are not limited by the scope of the symbol, so that a symbol's property list is always global. A property consists of a (name . value) pair. Property lists are automatically maintained by setprop to ensure that each property name is unique for a symbol. A symbol may have any number of properties. A property for a symbol is queried using getprop.
The symbol and property are normally protected from evaluation when setting properties, using the # operator.
