New description:

 There are lots of places that properties are None, rather than missing.
 In these cases, the !WithProperties %(property:-replacement)s syntax will
 return "None", rather than "replacement".

 Rather than alter the behavior of an existing feature, I think we should
 add another syntax, {{{:~}}}, that will turn anything false into the
 replacement.
