// D-Bus objects frequently provide sets of properties accessed via a
// standard interface of method calls and signals to obtain the current value,
// set a new value and be notified of changes to the value. Unfortunately this
// interface makes heavy use of variants and dictionaries of variants. The
// classes defined here make dealing with properties in a type-safe manner
// possible.
//
// Client implementation classes should define a Properties structure, deriving
// from the PropertySet class defined here. This structure should contain a
// member for each property defined as an instance of the Property<> class,
// specifying the type to the template. Finally the structure should chain up
// to the PropertySet constructor, and then call RegisterProperty() for each
// property defined to associate them with their string name.
//
// Example:
//   class ExampleClient {
//    public:
//     struct Properties : public dbus::PropertySet {
//       dbus::Property<std::string> name;
//       dbus::Property<uint16> version;
//       dbus::Property<dbus::ObjectPath> parent;
//       dbus::Property<std::vector<std::string> > children;
//
//       Properties(dbus::ObjectProxy* object_proxy,
//                  const PropertyChangedCallback callback)
//           : dbus::PropertySet(object_proxy, "com.example.DBus", callback) {
//         RegisterProperty("Name", &name);
//         RegisterProperty("Version", &version);
//         RegisterProperty("Parent", &parent);
//         RegisterProperty("Children", &children);
//       }
//       virtual ~Properties() {}
//     };
//
// The Properties structure requires a pointer to the object proxy of the
// actual object to track, and after construction should have signals
// connected to that object and initial values set by calling ConnectSignals()
// and GetAll(). The structure should not outlive the object proxy, so it
// is recommended that the lifecycle of both be managed together.
//
// Example (continued):
//
//     typedef std::map<std::pair<dbus::ObjectProxy*, Properties*> > Object;
//     typedef std::map<dbus::ObjectPath, Object> ObjectMap;
//     ObjectMap object_map_;
//
//     dbus::ObjectProxy* GetObjectProxy(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
//       return GetObject(object_path).first;
//     }
//
//     Properties* GetProperties(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
//       return GetObject(object_path).second;
//     }
//
//     Object GetObject(const dbus::ObjectPath& object_path) {
//       ObjectMap::iterator it = object_map_.find(object_path);
//       if (it != object_map_.end())
//         return it->second;
//
//       dbus::ObjectProxy* object_proxy = bus->GetObjectProxy(...);
//       // connect signals, etc.
//
//       Properties* properties = new Properties(
//           object_proxy,
//           base::Bind(&PropertyChanged,
//                      weak_ptr_factory_.GetWeakPtr(),
//                      object_path));
//       properties->ConnectSignals();
//       properties->GetAll();
//
//       Object object = std::make_pair(object_proxy, properties);
//       object_map_[object_path] = object;
//       return object;
//     }
//  };
//
// This now allows code using the client implementation to access properties
// in a type-safe manner, and assuming the PropertyChanged callback is
// propogated up to observers, be notified of changes. A typical access of
// the current value of the name property would be:
//
//   ExampleClient::Properties* p = example_client->GetProperties(object_path);
//   std::string name = p->name.value();
//
// Normally these values are updated from signals emitted by the remote object,
// in case an explicit round-trip is needed to obtain the current value, the
// Get() method can be used and indicates whether or not the value update was
// successful. The updated value can be obtained in the callback using the
// value() method.
//
//   p->children.Get(base::Bind(&OnGetChildren));
//
// A new value can be set using the Set() method, the callback indicates
// success only; it is up to the remote object when (and indeed if) it updates
// the property value, and whether it emits a signal or a Get() call is
// required to obtain it.
//
//   p->version.Set(20, base::Bind(&OnSetVersion))
