//! # Properties File Configuration Source
//!
//! Loads configuration from Java `.properties` format files.
//!
//! # Format
//!
//! The `.properties` format supports:
//! - `key=value` assignments
//! - `key: value` assignments (colon separator)
//! - `key value` assignments (whitespace separator)
//! - `# comment` and `! comment` lines
//! - Blank lines (ignored)
//! - Line continuation with an odd number of `\` characters at end of line
//! - Java properties escape sequences (`\uXXXX`, `\=`, `\:`, `\ `, etc.)
//!
