I don't believe that there's a reliable way to access bundled property
types. You can probably use the vertex_property_type and one metafunction or
another to extract the bundled types, but I don't know the exact process for
this. This only applies to graphs that actually define that type, though.

Expecting a function isn't really "totally generic". It just hides the
differences that are causing your problem.
