Both work, and it was probably easier to use the longer syntax since
that function is also supposed to work when there are several properties
set (in which case the simpler syntax can't be used).
We could probably improve that function to use the simpler syntax when
possible, but I'd have to see the patch to judge whether it's worth
the trouble.
