 * Annotation to track system properties across the entire code-base. System properties are values that can be changed programmatically,
 * via a "System.getProperty()", or via arguments.
 * 

 *  Loading arguments is left for the end-user application. Using an annotation detector to load/save properties is recommended.
 *  

 *  For example (if implemented): -Ddorkbox.Args.Debug=true
