are we going to support return of modifiable strings - or const would fit here
?  (IMHO I still think, we are duplicating way too many things on return...)

Hmmm why doing a copy here instead of passing/assigning  'name' ptr somewhere?

As this is public interface - I'd add check for valid 'value' pointer.

if (value) return 0;   // might indicate, property exists and is queriable,
but user is not interested in the result.
