That depends on whether the property is set directly (by set_property)
or if it's set by sending a property setting event.

I remember that I have contemplated over this problem, but I don't
remember my conclusions clearly. It might be a good idea to make
Timing_translator configurable, to either write properties directly or
indirectly. It isn't really clean to let a part of the back-end
generate events to the stream, but on the other hand you can sometimes
view the translator as a part of the front-end (like when using
partcombiner).
