/**
 * Provides a way for creating type-safe configurations from a {@link Map} or {@link Dictionary}.
 * <p>
 * This class takes a map or dictionary along with a class, the configuration-type, and returns a proxy that converts
 * method calls from the configuration-type to lookups in the map or dictionary. The results of these lookups are then
 * converted to the expected return type of the invoked configuration method.<br>
 * As proxies are returned, no implementations of the desired configuration-type are necessary!
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The lookups performed are based on the name of the method called on the configuration type. The method names are
 * "mangled" to the following form: <tt>[lower case letter] [any valid character]*</tt>. Method names starting with
 * <tt>get</tt> or <tt>is</tt> (JavaBean convention) are stripped from these prefixes. For example: given a dictionary
 * with the key <tt>"foo"</tt> can be accessed from a configuration-type using the following method names:
 * <tt>foo()</tt>, <tt>getFoo()</tt> and <tt>isFoo()</tt>.
 *  
 * If the property name contains some dots, the the following conventions are used: 
 * <ul> 
 * <li>camel casing: if a property contains multiple words separated by dots, then you can indicate words boundaries using medial capitalization.
 * For example, the property "foo.bar" could be accessed with a method name like "fooBar()" or "getFooBar()".  
 * <li> use underscore to wrap dots: underscore ("_") found in method names are converted to ".", unless they are followed by another underscore.
 * (in this case, the double "__" is then converted to single underscore ("_").
 * For Example: foo_bar() will be mapped to "foo.bar" property, and foo__bar() will be mapped to "foo_bar" property.
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The return values supported are: primitive types (or their object wrappers), strings, enums, arrays of
 * primitives/strings, {@link Collection} types, {@link Map} types, {@link Class}es and interfaces. When an interface is
 * returned, it is treated equally to a configuration type, that is, it is returned as a proxy.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Arrays can be represented either as comma-separated values, optionally enclosed in square brackets. For example:
 * <tt>[ a, b, c ]</tt> and <tt>a, b,c</tt> are both considered an array of length 3 with the values "a", "b" and "c".
 * Alternatively, you can append the array index to the key in the dictionary to obtain the same: a dictionary with
 * "arr.0" =&gt; "a", "arr.1" =&gt; "b", "arr.2" =&gt; "c" would result in the same array as the earlier examples.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Maps can be represented as single string values similarly as arrays, each value consisting of both the key and value
 * separated by a dot. Optionally, the value can be enclosed in curly brackets. Similar to array, you can use the same
 * dot notation using the keys. For example, a dictionary with <tt>"map" => "{key1.value1, key2.value2}"</tt> and a
 * dictionary with <tt>"map.key1" => "value1", "map2.key2" => "value2"</tt> result in the same map being returned.
 * Instead of a map, you could also define an interface with the methods <tt>getKey1()</tt> and <tt>getKey2</tt> and use
 * that interface as return type instead of a {@link Map}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * In case a lookup does not yield a value from the underlying map or dictionary, the following rules are applied:
 * <ol>
 * <li>primitive types yield their default value, as defined by the Java Specification;
 * <li>string, {@link Class}es and enum values yield <code>null</code>;
 * <li>for arrays, collections and maps, an empty array/collection/map is returned;
 * <li>for other interface types that are treated as configuration type a null-object is returned.
 * </ol>
 * </p>
