It's an interesting point. I certainly see the use. Suppose you are
only interested in the title of a file. Then you could specify this in
the constructor and get you only the title. This would avoid getting
out more expensive properties like 'md5', 'xml wellformedness', or
thumbnail.

For now I'd like to leave 'What' until we've come up with good alternative.
Giving in lists of strings with property keys as I proposed earlier,
might be a nice idea but also a bit expensive.

Cheers,
