minor inconsistency in \paper-settings?

[Stefan Vollmar]

Dear all,

if I am not mistaken, in order to have my scores in A5 format (I actually then 
print that on A4 paper for a specific recital with poor light conditions) this 
works fine:

\paper{
  #(set-paper-size "a5")
  page-count = 2
}

And the reference manual gives a wealth of other properties (e.g. "paper-width" 
or "evenHeaderMarkup") which can be set like "page-count". It strikes me as odd 
that, apparently, I should not write

\paper{
  paper-size = "a5"
  page-count = 2
}

and if I do, Lilypond does not complain about "paper-size" and uses the default 
("a4") instead.

Warm regards,
 Stefan
