 *
 * Author: Chris Newman
 * Removal of implementation-specific details by: Rob Siemborski
 *
 * This is intended to be used to create a list of properties to request,
 * and _then_ request values for all properties.  Any change to the request
 * list will discard any existing values.  This assumption allows a very
 * efficient and simple memory model.  This was designed for SASL API auxiliary
 * property support, but would be fine for other contexts where this property
 * model is appropriate.
 *
 * The "struct propctx" is allocated by prop_new and is a fixed size structure.
 * If a prop_init() call were added, it would be reasonable to embed a "struct
 * propctx" in another structure.  prop_new also allocates a pool of memory
 * (in the vbase field) which will be used for an array of "struct propval"
 * to list all the requested properties.
 *
 * Properties may be multi-valued.
