Let me clarify that example - the WM docs for PropertyMethod say that the 
above code is basically equivalent to:

#set $var = $propnameProvider.marc.SomeOtherProp

Which looks an ambiguity from beyond hell to me, in terms of:

#set $var = $propnameProvider.get("SomeProp").SomeOtherProp

...is get("SomeProp") going to get me an object that I can use to read 
SomeOtherProp, or is it going to get me an object to use as a Name for a 
property on which I can get SomeOtherProp. It seems quite obscure.
