One more question: what would be the syntax for matching a property? I
could not find a single example of this in the whole org-mode/lisp/
directory.

Imagine the doc looks like this:

,--------------------------------------------------------
| * my todos
| ** get things done
|    :PROPERTIES:
|    :author:   My Name
|    :END:
| ** take care of things
| ** procrastinate when tasks are unpleasant 
| ** delegate really unpleasant tasks            :repeat:
`--------------------------------------------------------

By trial-and-error I found out that tags match like this:

 ,--------------------------------------
 | M: (length (org-map-entries t "repeat"))
 `--------------------------------------

but for the property I get result 0 except with

 ,--------------------------------------
 | M: (length (org-map-entries t "/*author"))
 `--------------------------------------

or

 ,--------------------------------------
 | M: (length (org-map-entries t "/-author"))
 `--------------------------------------

which return 5. 

Whats the syntax in this case?
