/**
 * This class extends normal Java properties by adding the possibility
 * to use the same key many times concatenating the value strings
 * instead of overwriting them.
 *
 * <p>The Extended Properties syntax is explained here:
 *
 * <ul>
 *  <li>
 *   Each property has the syntax <code>key = value</code>
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   The <i>key</i> may use any character but the equal sign '='.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   <i>value</i> may be separated on different lines if a backslash
 *   is placed at the end of the line that continues below.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   If <i>value</i> is a list of strings, each token is separated
 *   by a comma ','.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   Commas in each token are escaped placing a backslash right before
 *   the comma.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   If a <i>key</i> is used more than once, the values are appended
 *   like if they were on the same line separated with commas.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   Blank lines and lines starting with character '#' are skipped.
 *  </li>
 *  <li>
 *   If a property is named "include" (or whatever is defined by
 *   setInclude() and getInclude() and the value of that property is
 *   the full path to a file on disk, that file will be included into
 *   the ConfigurationsRepository. You can also pull in files relative
 *   to the parent configuration file. So if you have something
 *   like the following:
 *
 *   include = additional.properties
 *
 *   Then "additional.properties" is expected to be in the same
 *   directory as the parent configuration file.
 * 
 *   Duplicate name values will be replaced, so be careful.
 *
 *  </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Here is an example of a valid extended properties file:
 *
 * <p><pre>
 *      # lines starting with # are comments
 *
 *      # This is the simplest property
 *      key = value
 *
 *      # A long property may be separated on multiple lines
 *      longvalue = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa \
 *                  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 *
 *      # This is a property with many tokens
 *      tokens_on_a_line = first token, second token
 *
 *      # This sequence generates exactly the same result
 *      tokens_on_multiple_lines = first token
 *      tokens_on_multiple_lines = second token
 *
 *      # commas may be escaped in tokens
 *      commas.excaped = Hi\, what'up?
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p><b>NOTE</b>: this class has <b>not</b> been written for
 * performance nor low memory usage.  In fact, it's way slower than it
 * could be and generates too much memory garbage.  But since
 * performance is not an issue during intialization (and there is not
 * much time to improve it), I wrote it this way.  If you don't like
 * it, go ahead and tune it up!
