31   * <p>
32   * A Map based Configuration.
33   * </p>
34   * <p>
35   * This implementation of the {@code Configuration} interface is initialized with a {@link java.util.Map}. The methods
36   * of the {@code Configuration} interface are implemented on top of the content of this map. The following storage
37   * scheme is used:
38   * </p>
39   * <p>
40   * Property keys are directly mapped to map keys, i.e. the {@code getProperty()} method directly performs a
41   * {@code get()} on the map. Analogously, {@code setProperty()} or {@code addProperty()} operations write new data into
42   * the map. If a value is added to an existing property, a {@link java.util.List} is created, which stores the values of
43   * this property.
44   * </p>
45   * <p>
46   * An important use case of this class is to treat a map as a {@code Configuration} allowing access to its data through
47   * the richer interface. This can be a bit problematic in some cases because the map may contain values that need not
48   * adhere to the default storage scheme used by typical configuration implementations, for example regarding lists. In such
49   * cases care must be taken when manipulating the data through the {@code Configuration} interface, for example by calling
50   * {@code addProperty()}; results may be different than expected.
51   * </p>
52   * <p>
53   * The handling of list delimiters is a bit different for this configuration implementation: When a property of type
54   * String is queried, it is passed to the current {@link org.apache.commons.configuration2.convert.ListDelimiterHandler
55   * ListDelimiterHandler} which may generate multiple values. Note that per default a list delimiter handler is set which
56   * does not do any list splitting, so this feature is disabled. It can be enabled by setting a properly configured
57   * {@code ListDelimiterHandler} implementation, for example a
58   * {@link org.apache.commons.configuration2.convert.DefaultListDelimiterHandler DefaultListDelimiterHandler} object.
59   * </p>
60   * <p>
61   * Notice that list splitting is only performed for single string values. If a property has multiple values, the single
62   * values are not split even if they contain the list delimiter character.
63   * </p>
64   * <p>
65   * As the underlying {@code Map} is directly used as store of the property values, the thread-safety of this
66   * {@code Configuration} implementation depends on the map passed to the constructor.
67   * </p>
68   * <p>
69   * Notes about type safety: For properties with multiple values this implementation creates lists of type {@code Object}
70   * and stores them. If a property is assigned another value, the value is added to the list. This can cause problems if
71   * the map passed to the constructor already contains lists of other types. This should be avoided, otherwise it cannot
72   * be guaranteed that the application might throw {@code ClassCastException} exceptions later.
73   * </p>
