public interface PropertySource extends Auditable
A PropertySource provides an interface to read properties (values), usually game- or UI-related, from various game objects. GamePiece is the "OG" of PropertySources, but all of the objects which provide containers for Global Properties (e.g. Zones, Maps, and GameModule) implement it as well.
