/**
* <p>Abstract configuration class. Provides basic functionality but does not
* store any data.</p>
* <p>If you want to write your own Configuration class then you should
* implement only abstract methods from this class. A lot of functionality
* needed by typical implementations of the {@code Configuration}
* interface is already provided by this base class. Following is a list of
* features implemented here:</p>
* <ul><li>Data conversion support. The various data types required by the
* {@code Configuration} interface are already handled by this base class.
* A concrete sub class only needs to provide a generic {@code getProperty()}
* method.</li>
* <li>Support for variable interpolation. Property values containing special
* variable tokens (like {@code ${var}}) will be replaced by their
* corresponding values.</li>
* <li>Optional support for string lists. The values of properties to be added to this
* configuration are checked whether they contain a list delimiter character. If
* this is the case and if list splitting is enabled, the string is split and
* multiple values are added for this property. List splitting is controlled
* by a {@link ListDelimiterHandler} object which can be set using the
* {@link #setListDelimiterHandler(ListDelimiterHandler)} method. It is
* disabled per default. To enable this feature, set a suitable
* {@code ListDelimiterHandler}, e.g. an instance of
* {@link org.apache.commons.configuration2.convert.DefaultListDelimiterHandler
* DefaultListDelimiterHandler} configured with the desired list delimiter character.</li>
* <li>Allows specifying how missing properties are treated. Per default the
* get methods returning an object will return <b>null</b> if the searched
* property key is not found (and no default value is provided). With the
* {@code setThrowExceptionOnMissing()} method this behavior can be
* changed to throw an exception when a requested property cannot be found.</li>
* <li>Basic event support. Whenever this configuration is modified registered
* event listeners are notified. Refer to the various {@code EVENT_XXX}
* constants to get an impression about which event types are supported.</li>
* <li>Support for proper synchronization based on the {@link Synchronizer}
* interface.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* Most methods defined by the {@code Configuration} interface are already
* implemented in this class. Many method implementations perform basic
* book-keeping tasks (e.g. firing events, handling synchronization), and then
* delegate to other (protected) methods executing the actual work. Subclasses
* override these protected methods to define or adapt behavior. The public
* entry point methods are final to prevent subclasses from breaking basic
* functionality.
* </p>
