public interface Property

This interface represents a property of the model element. Property is
a name-value pair where both name and value are strings. One of the reasons of
such restriction on the value type is a homogenuity requirement. Although
model may be not well-structured, it should be homogenouos in the sense
of value types.

Property object itself can contain nested properties accessible
via getSubproperties method. Thus, properties can form
tree-like structure.

Properties ARE NOT elements of the model, that is they do
not have identifiers, properties tree can not be backward traversed, etc.
Properties responsible for the storage of atomic values, not more and not
less.
