/** @file
	OGRE's property system allows you to associate values of arbitrary type with
	names, and have those values exposed via a self-describing interface. Unlike
	Ogre::StringInterface, the values are passed as their native types without
	needing conversion to or from strings; they are simply wrapped in an Ogre::Any
	and casts are performed to access them.
	@par
	Property values are actually not stored in this system; instead the property
	definitions reference getter & setter methods which provide the 'backing' for
	the property. This means you can directly expose features of your classes as properties
	without any duplication.
	@par
	There are two aspects to exposing a property on your class. One is exposing 
	the definition of the property (PropertyDef), which should be shared between 
	all instances and probably stored in a static PropertyDefMap somewhere. The second
	is the instance 'wiring' which ensures that a call to set a property calls 
	a method on this particular instance of the class; this is formed by a number of
	Property instances, contained in a PropertySet. Each Property has an explicit
	binding to getter and setter instance methods.
	@par
	So, here's an example of setting up properties on an instance:

	@code
	// Make sure the property definition is created 
	// propertyDefs is a variable of type PropertyDefMap, shared between instances
	PropertyDefMap::iterator defi = propertyDefs.find("name");
	if (defi == propertyDefs.end())
	{
		defi = propertyDefs.insert(PropertyDefMap::value_type("name", 
			PropertyDef("name", 
				"The name of the object.", PROP_STRING))).first;
	}
	// This has established the property definition, and its description.
	// Now, we need to 'wire' a property instance for this object instance
	// We assume the class is called 'Foo' and the instance is pointed to by a variable called 'inst'
	// 'props' is a PropertySet, specific to the instance
	props.addProperty(
		OGRE_NEW Property<String>(&(defi->second),
			boost::bind(&Foo::getName, inst), 
			boost::bind(&Foo::setName, inst, _1)));

	@endcode
