/**
* The <code>Properties</code> class represents a persistent set of
* properties. The <code>Properties</code> can be saved to a stream
* or loaded from a stream. Each key and its corresponding value in
* the property list is a string.
* <p>
* A property list can contain another property list as its
* "defaults"; this second property list is searched if
* the property key is not found in the original property list.
* <p>
* Because <code>Properties</code> inherits from <code>Hashtable</code>, the
* <code>put</code> and <code>putAll</code> methods can be applied to a
* <code>Properties</code> object. Their use is strongly discouraged as they
* allow the caller to insert entries whose keys or values are not
* <code>Strings</code>. The <code>setProperty</code> method should be used
* instead. If the <code>store</code> or <code>save</code> method is called
* on a "compromised" <code>Properties</code> object that contains a
* non-<code>String</code> key or value, the call will fail. Similarly,
* the call to the <code>propertyNames</code> or <code>list</code> method
* will fail if it is called on a "compromised" <code>Properties</code>
* object that contains a non-<code>String</code> key.
*
* <p>
* The {@link #load(java.io.Reader) load(Reader)} <tt>/</tt>
* {@link #store(java.io.Writer, java.lang.String) store(Writer, String)}
* methods load and store properties from and to a character based stream
* in a simple line-oriented format specified below.
*
* The {@link #load(java.io.InputStream) load(InputStream)} <tt>/</tt>
* {@link #store(java.io.OutputStream, java.lang.String) store(OutputStream, String)}
* methods work the same way as the load(Reader)/store(Writer, String) pair, except
* the input/output stream is encoded in ISO 8859-1 character encoding.
* Characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding can be written using
* <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.3">Unicode escapes</a>
* ; only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape
* sequence. The native2ascii tool can be used to convert property files to and
* from other character encodings.
*
* <p> The {@link #loadFromXML(InputStream)} and {@link
* #storeToXML(OutputStream, String, String)} methods load and store properties
* in a simple XML format. By default the UTF-8 character encoding is used,
* however a specific encoding may be specified if required. An XML properties
* document has the following DOCTYPE declaration:
*
* <pre>
* <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
* </pre>
* Note that the system URI (http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd) is
* <i>not</i> accessed when exporting or importing properties; it merely
* serves as a string to uniquely identify the DTD, which is:
* <pre>
* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
*
* <!-- DTD for properties -->
*
* <!ELEMENT properties ( comment?, entry* ) >
*
* <!ATTLIST properties version CDATA #FIXED "1.0">

/**
* Reads a property list (key and element pairs) from the input
* character stream in a simple line-oriented format.
* <p>
* Properties are processed in terms of lines. There are two
* kinds of line, <i>natural lines</i> and <i>logical lines</i>.
* A natural line is defined as a line of
* characters that is terminated either by a set of line terminator
* characters (<code>\n</code> or <code>\r</code> or <code>\r\n</code>)
* or by the end of the stream. A natural line may be either a blank line,
* a comment line, or hold all or some of a key-element pair. A logical
* line holds all the data of a key-element pair, which may be spread
* out across several adjacent natural lines by escaping
* the line terminator sequence with a backslash character
* <code>\</code>. Note that a comment line cannot be extended
* in this manner; every natural line that is a comment must have
* its own comment indicator, as described below. Lines are read from
* input until the end of the stream is reached.
*
* <p>
* A natural line that contains only white space characters is
* considered blank and is ignored. A comment line has an ASCII
* <code>'#'</code> or <code>'!'</code> as its first non-white
* space character; comment lines are also ignored and do not
* encode key-element information. In addition to line
* terminators, this format considers the characters space
* (<code>' '</code>, <code>'\u0020'</code>), tab
* (<code>'\t'</code>, <code>'\u0009'</code>), and form feed
* (<code>'\f'</code>, <code>'\u000C'</code>) to be white
* space.
*
* <p>
* If a logical line is spread across several natural lines, the
* backslash escaping the line terminator sequence, the line
* terminator sequence, and any white space at the start of the
* following line have no affect on the key or element values.
* The remainder of the discussion of key and element parsing
* (when loading) will assume all the characters constituting
* the key and element appear on a single natural line after
* line continuation characters have been removed. Note that
* it is <i>not</i> sufficient to only examine the character
* preceding a line terminator sequence to decide if the line
* terminator is escaped; there must be an odd number of
* contiguous backslashes for the line terminator to be escaped.
* Since the input is processed from left to right, a
* non-zero even number of 2<i>n</i> contiguous backslashes
* before a line terminator (or elsewhere) encodes <i>n</i>
* backslashes after escape processing.
*
* <p>
* The key contains all of the characters in the line starting
* with the first non-white space character and up to, but not
* including, the first unescaped <code>'='</code>,
* <code>':'</code>, or white space character other than a line
* terminator. All of these key termination characters may be
* included in the key by escaping them with a preceding backslash
* character; for example,<p>
*
* <code>\:\=</code><p>
*
* would be the two-character key <code>":="</code>. Line
* terminator characters can be included using <code>\r</code> and
* <code>\n</code> escape sequences. Any white space after the
* key is skipped; if the first non-white space character after
* the key is <code>'='</code> or <code>':'</code>, then it is
* ignored and any white space characters after it are also
* skipped. All remaining characters on the line become part of
* the associated element string; if there are no remaining
* characters, the element is the empty string
* <code>""</code>. Once the raw character sequences
* constituting the key and element are identified, escape
* processing is performed as described above.
*
* <p>
* As an example, each of the following three lines specifies the key
* <code>"Truth"</code> and the associated element value
* <code>"Beauty"</code>:
* <p>
* <pre>
* Truth = Beauty
* Truth:Beauty
* Truth :Beauty
* </pre>
* As another example, the following three lines specify a single
* property:
* <p>
* <pre>
* fruits apple, banana, pear, \
* cantaloupe, watermelon, \
* kiwi, mango
* </pre>
* The key is <code>"fruits"</code> and the associated element is:
* <p>
* <pre>"apple, banana, pear, cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi, mango"</pre>
* Note that a space appears before each <code>\</code> so that a space
* will appear after each comma in the final result; the <code>\</code>,
* line terminator, and leading white space on the continuation line are
* merely discarded and are <i>not</i> replaced by one or more other
* characters.
* <p>
* As a third example, the line:
* <p>
* <pre>cheeses
* </pre>
* specifies that the key is <code>"cheeses"</code> and the associated
* element is the empty string <code>""</code>.<p>
* <p>
*
* <a name="unicodeescapes"></a>
* Characters in keys and elements can be represented in escape
* sequences similar to those used for character and string literals
* (see <a
* href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.3">§3.3</a>
* and <a
* href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/lexical.html#3.10.6">§3.10.6</a>
* of the <i>Java Language Specification</i>).
*
* The differences from the character escape sequences and Unicode
* escapes used for characters and strings are:
*
* <ul>
* <li> Octal escapes are not recognized.
*
* <li> The character sequence <code>\b</code> does <i>not</i>
* represent a backspace character.
*
* <li> The method does not treat a backslash character,
* <code>\</code>, before a non-valid escape character as an
* error; the backslash is silently dropped. For example, in a
* Java string the sequence <code>"\z"</code> would cause a
* compile time error. In contrast, this method silently drops
* the backslash. Therefore, this method treats the two character
* sequence <code>"\b"</code> as equivalent to the single
* character <code>'b'</code>.
*
* <li> Escapes are not necessary for single and double quotes;
* however, by the rule above, single and double quote characters
* preceded by a backslash still yield single and double quote
* characters, respectively.
*
* <li> Only a single 'u' character is allowed in a Uniocde escape
* sequence.
*
* </ul>
* <p>
* The specified stream remains open after this method returns.
*
