Also Rob H has expressed that he prefers "label" for this kind of
stuff.

So instead of adding it as another optional property, add it above
label-name, declare line-name as deprecated (and also mention
that it does not support an array). Maybe move under a separate
heading "Deprecated optional properties" or something.
