Configure "identifier" properties at runtime.

[dhemery]

Allow the user to specify which property is examined by each style of identifier pattern.

The default property for #word and #"string" patterns is accessibilityIdentifier. Allow the user to associate these patterns with a different property, or perhaps with a prioritized list of properties.

Similarly, the default property for #number patterns is tag. Allow the user to specify another property, or a prioritized list of properties.

One possibility: Configure these at runtime via category methods added to the application delegate (e.g. setIgorNumericIdentifierProperty: and setIgorStringIdentifierProperty).

Another: Configure these through files in the application bundle.

Another possibility: Remove the identifier pattern altogether, in order to simplify the Igor query language. This functionality is already available (though in a more verbose form) via predicate patterns.

Does anybody care about having shorthand notation for these identifiers?

Abandoning this idea.
