#524098 -- I was trying to implement your suggestion in that bug
report: remove properties and only assign defaults to ones that were
empty by the time the callout is invoked. For that, I need
hal-get-property, right?

I don't care about --direct or not, but if hal-set-property works in
the same script where hal-get-property does not, and --direct is the
most obvious difference between them, I am lead to believe that
--direct for hal-get-property would let me get on with things.
