//! # Property Table Loader
//!
//! This module provides loading functionality for the Property metadata table (ID 0x17).
//! The Property table defines properties exposed by types, including their attributes,
//! names, and type signatures for both getter and setter methods.
//!
//! ## Purpose
//!
//! The Property table serves as the foundation for .NET property system:
//! - Defines property names and signatures for types
//! - Provides property attributes and flags (special name, `RTSpecialName`, etc.)
//! - Enables property-based reflection and metadata queries
//! - Supports property mapping through `PropertyMap` table relationships
//!
//! ## Dependencies
//!
//! - **String Heap**: Required for property name resolution
//! - **Blob Heap**: Required for property signature parsing
//! - **`PropertyMap` Table**: Links properties to their declaring types
//!
//! ## References
//!
//! - ECMA-335, Partition II, ยง22.34 - Property table specification
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables::PropertyRaw`] - Raw table entry structure
//! - [`crate::metadata::tables::Property`] - Owned table entry type

/// Loader for Property metadata table entries.
///
/// This loader handles the loading and processing of the Property table (0x17),
/// which defines properties exposed by types including their names, signatures,
/// and attributes. It uses parallel processing for performance and resolves
/// property names and signatures from the metadata heaps.

    /// its owned representation with resolved strings and signatures, then stored
    /// in the loader context for subsequent access.

    /// ## Arguments
    ///
    /// * `context` - The loader context containing metadata and storage
    ///

    /// * `Err(Error)` - Missing heaps, conversion error, or storage error

    /// Returns the table dependencies for the Property table.
    ///
    /// The Property table has no direct table dependencies as it contains
    /// primitive fields and heap references rather than table indexes.
    /// However, it requires string and blob heaps for name and signature resolution.
    ///
    /// ## Returns
    ///
    /// * `&[]` - Empty slice indicating no table dependencies
