Yes, sorry about that.

In particular, notice the use of the ref_property map to represent  
the graph name property:

   boost::ref_property_map<graph_t*,std::string> gname(
     get_property(graph,graph_name));
   dp.property("name",gname);

One of the tests is marked with a comment "Graph Property Test".  It  
has a graph of the form:
digraph { graph [name="foo"]  a c e  [mass = 6.66] }

The name ends up getting stored in the string referenced  by graph_name.
