As a user, I'm willing to pay that cost. Also, I never have other property
drawers. If it were just doing (re-search-forward "^:PROPERTIES:$"
(end-of-entry)), then it wouldn't matter where the properties drawer was, so
long as it's understood that the search may be wrong if the user has such a
string appearing elsewhere.
