Personally, I'd like to just change the way `buffer-substring' &c work,
to respect a list of properties to strip when _cutting_.  Since the
buffer from which the text came knows about which properties it uses
that are `wierd', it is in a much better position to do know what to do
about them.

So a common value might be '(field read-only)
