The 1275 doc's (pseudo) prototype for nextprop() specifies [address]
for this argument, as it does in all places where we currently
have `void *' in the OF_*() function prototypes.

It goes on to clarify what [address] should point at, and that clarification
does not, strictly speaking, specify a `character string' but rather a
`32-byte region of memory' into which the name of `the next property'
is to be copied.
