Functionally it is no different, but does this property make sense for 
other controllers? If not then I don't see why we should pollute the 
common list with controller-specific ones. For one, this now no longer 
makes it obvious that this property should only be used with the 
Synopsys controller. And if you keep making small exceptions for other 
controllers too, soon the common list will be full of controller 
properties and it will be a mess finding out what belongs to who.
