/**
 * MultiPropertiesConfig allows applications to accept configuration data
 * from a more than one property file (each of which is to be loaded from
 * a unique path using this class' ClassLoader's resource-loading mechanism),
 * and permits access to property data via the resource path from which the
 * properties were loaded, via the prefix of the property (where hierarchical 
 * property names are presumed to be '.'-separated), and simply by key.
 * In the by-key and by-prefix indices, when two definitions conflict, the
 * key value pairing specified in the MOST RECENT properties file shadows
 * earlier definitions, and files are loaded in the order of the list of
 * resource paths provided a constructor.
 *
 * The resource path "/" is a special case that always refers to System
 * properties. No actual resource will be loaded.
 *
 * If the mchange-hocon-bridge jar file is available, resource paths specified
 * as "hocon:/path/to/resource" will be parsed as 
 * HOCON,
 * whenever values can be interpreted as Strings. 
 *
 * The class manages a special instance called "vmConfig" which is accessable
 * via a static method. It's resource path is list specified by a text-file,
 * itself a ClassLoader managed resource, which may be located at
 * /com/mchange/v2/cfg/vmConfigResourcePaths.txt or /mchange-config-resource-paths.txt.
 * This file should
 * be one resource path per line, with blank lines ignored and lines beginning
 * with '#' treated as comments.
 *
 * If no text file of resource paths are available, the following resources are
 * checked: "/mchange-commons.properties", "hocon:/reference,/application,/", "/"
 *
 * See HoconPropertiesConfigSource for information
 * on HOCON identifiers.
