Hmm, so if someone has subclassed `Properties` and overridden `entrySet` for
the purpose of ordering entries, that trick will no longer work with the new
code. I wonder - should we sort entries only when the
`java.util.Properties.storeDate` is also defined and not empty? Or should we
simply state in the release notes that such tricks will no longer work?
