I'm not sure which one you think is confusing to beginners, but I think
the text property solution would be far more confusing.
I mean really, something like (buffer "foo") or (file "~/bar")
seems pretty clear, even if you don't know what lisp is.
Text properties, on the other hand are _invisible_, and having strings
whose meaning differs based on invisible properties doesn't seems like a
very good interface at all for beginners... (or experts for that matter)
