---------------------------------------------------------------
As far as I remember, the main problem with the Map interface in Properties is
the values coming from the parent "defaults" object. When you wrap another
properties object with one that has the other one as "defaults" given in ctor,
then your are fcked up if you are using the Map interface. Which is not the
case for system properties, but that's not guaranteed (e.g. the Java JVM could
set some basic properties in another Properties object and make the changes
available only through the overlayed properties object).
To fix the "defaults" problem I would go with the Enumeration<?> (works in Java
5, too) in a "for(Enumeration<?> e=propertyNames(); e.hasMoreElements();)" loop.
If you use the Set interface, the inherited props would not have been seen and
the system may *delete* properties which are in a parent/"defaults" properties
object.
