I think we want the GetPowerSave() method rather than a property for the
following reasons

 1. Symmetry
 2. Same overhead as GetProperty()
 3. The reasons Danny mentioned
 4. Implementation GetPowerSave() will lookup in /sys (on Linux) instead
    of just using a property; hence we'll be able to cope with
    situations where users manually change it from a shell or using
    system(3) :-)
