* A property encapsulates a value which should be user-changeable. A property almost
* always belongs to a PropertyOwner who has taken ownership (setPropertyOwner) of the
* Property. Per PropertyOwner, the `identifier` needs to be unique and can be used as a
* URI. This class is an abstract base class and each subclass (most notable
* TemplateProperty) needs to implement the methods Property::className, Property::get,
* Property::set, Property::type(), Property::getLuaValue, Property::setLuaValue,
* Property::getStringValue, and Property::typeLua to make full use of the infrastructure.
* The most common types can be implemented by creating a specialized instantiation of
* TemplateProperty, which provides default implementations for these methods.
*
* The onChange method can be used by the PropertyOwner to listen to changes that happen
* to the Property. The parameter is a function object that gets called after new value
* has been set.
* The metaData allows the developer to specify additional information about the Property
* which might be used in GUI representations. One example would be a glm::vec4 property,
* (Vec4Property) that can either represent a 4-dimensional position, a powerscaled
* coordinate, a light position, or other things, requiring different GUI representations.
