--- Add the missing properties handler to a CAPI object such as client/tag/screen.
-- Valid args:
--
-- * **getter**: A smart getter (handle property getter itself)
-- * **getter_fallback**: A dumb getter method (don't handle individual property getter)
-- * **getter_class**: A module with individual property getter/setter
-- * **getter_prefix**: A special getter prefix (like "get" or "get_" (default))
-- * **setter**: A smart setter (handle property setter itself)
-- * **setter_fallback**: A dumb setter method (don't handle individual property setter)
-- * **setter_class**: A module with individual property getter/setter
-- * **setter_prefix**: A special setter prefix (like "set" or "set_" (default))
-- * **auto_emit**: Emit "property::___" automatically (default: false). This is
-- ignored when setter_fallback is set or a setter is found
--
