Comment (by jaredgrubb):

 I saw that lists are supported ('owners' is set to [u'jgrubb'] on my 0.8.6
 bot), so I assumed dict's were ok too.

 Before I did the dict approach, I was doing "got_description{%s}" in my
 own bot ... if someone wanted something different from the default prop
 name, could provide a 'set-property' key or something in the
 getDescription dict; hey, it could even be a callable! ... Maybe that's
 too many custom knobs before anyone's asked for it, but thought I'd throw
 it out there.
