As a safety precaution, it sets the value in Params as well. I think I
saw something like this done in sqldb already (though I'm not sure - I
looked at a lot of db code recently).  The dedicated properties should
always take precedence.

The solution I mentioned above will cover such a scenario and both
programmers will get the same result.
