[MarkLogic Dev General] can I also set a directory-property?

[Mike Sokolov]

It is possible to retrieve directory properties using 
xdmp:document-properties, isn't it?  At least I have noticed that some 
properties returned from that function include the <prop:directory /> 
element.  Isn't it also possible to set directory properties?
