Of course, any more than two "w"s is superfluous...

I disagree. I think it does make it onto the list. Even though you *can*
get at all the information, it's not in a sensible format, and that makes
it essentially useless:

At least with the defined property method we currently use, we get a single
line that's relataively easy to parse by eye:
