/**
 * A table of preference settings, mapping named properties to values. Property
 * names are non-empty strings; property values can be either booleans,
 * non-null strings, or values of one of the primitive number types.
 * The table consists of two, sparse, layers: the lower layer holds default values 
 * for properties, and the upper layer holds explicitly set values for properties.
 * Normal retrieval looks for an explicitly set value for the given property in
 * the upper layer; if there is nothing for that property in the upper layer, it
 * next looks for a default value for the given property in the lower layer; if
 * there is nothing for that property in the lower layer, it returns a standard
 * default-default value. The default-default values for the primitive types are
 * as follows:
 * <ul>
 * 	<li><code>boolean</code> = <code>false</code></li>
 * 	<li><code>double</code> = <code>0.0</code></li>
 * 	<li><code>float</code> = <code>0.0f</code></li>
 * 	<li><code>int</code> = <code>0</code></li>
 *  <li><code>long</code> = <code>0L</code></li>
 * 	<li><code>String</code> = <code>""</code> (the empty string)</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Internally, all properties values (in both layers) are stored as strings.
 * Standard conversions to and from numeric and boolean types are performed on
 * demand.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The typical usage is to establish the defaults for all known properties
 * and then restore previously stored values for properties whose values 
 * were explicitly set. The existing settings can be changed and new properties
 * can be set (<code>setValue</code>). If the values specified is the same as 
 * the default value, the explicit setting is deleted from the top layer.
 * It is also possible to reset a property value back to the default value 
 * using <code>setToDefault</code>. After the properties have been modified, 
 * the properties with explicit settings are written to disk. The default values
 * are never saved. This two-tiered approach
 * to saving and restoring property setting minimizes the number of properties
 * that need to be persisted; indeed, the normal starting state does not require
 * storing any properties at all. It also makes it easy to use different 
 * default settings in different environments while maintaining just those
 * property settings the user has adjusted.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * A property change event is reported whenever a property's value actually
 * changes (either through <code>setValue</code>, <code>setToDefault</code>).
 * Note, however, that manipulating default values (with <code>setDefault</code>)
 * does not cause any events to be reported.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Clients may instantiate this class. This class was not designed to be 
 * subclassed.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The implementation is based on a pair of internal 
 * <code>java.util.Properties</code> objects, one holding explicitly set values
 * (set using <code>setValue</code>), the other holding the default values
 * (set using <code>setDefaultValue</code>). The <code>load</code> and
 * <code>store</code> methods persist the non-default property values to 
 * streams (the default values are not saved).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * If a client sets a default value to be equivalent to the default-default for that
 * type, the value is still known to the preference store as having a default value.
 * That is, the name will still be returned in the result of the <code>defaultPropertyNames</code>
 * and <code>contains</code> methods.
 * </p>
