I was rather dismayed when I saw that get_tile_properties() was removed. I had been using it to gather more detailed water/temperature data on a tile (for tree growth simulation, but I can easily imagine it being used for more, including any number of faux-map-gen purposes), and to obtain a numeric value for starting area size. For now I am clumsily inferring the water/temp based on the tile type, and will be turning to magic numbers for the starting area. But these are both awkward solutions.

It'd be great if this came back.

Ok, I've added it for 0.16.
