Yeah, you summed up my thoughts pretty much exactly.
My plan is indeed to go with a get/set method pair that adjusts the importance.
There is a question of whether we want to allow for the possibility of other bang-structures in the future. There's no plans for this *yet*, but I've considered it in the past; on the other hand, we can just not worry about that until it happens, and make this API easy to use for !important.
Given that we *have* given serious consideration to a `!default` priority in the past, we should make the method open-ended, not boolean. So probably:
```
style.getPropertyPriority("foo") // "important" or ""
style.setPropertyPriority("foo", "important"); (or "")
```
> What should happen if you set a priority value for a property that doesn't yet exist in the style map? Options: ignore it silently, throw, or generate a new declaration with the value set to unset.
I don't really want to set up a fake value for the property. I'm inclined to silently ignore.
