/**
 * This class holds all preferences for JOSM.
 *
 * Other classes can register their beloved properties here. All properties will be
 * saved upon set-access.
 *
 * Each property is a key=setting pair, where key is a String and setting can be one of
 * 4 types:
 *     string, list, list of lists and list of maps.
 * In addition, each key has a unique default value that is set when the value is first
 * accessed using one of the get...() methods. You can use the same preference
 * key in different parts of the code, but the default value must be the same
 * everywhere. A default value of null means, the setting has been requested, but
 * no default value was set. This is used in advanced preferences to present a list
 * off all possible settings.
 *
 * At the moment, you cannot put the empty string for string properties.
 * put(key, "") means, the property is removed.
