A I<property> is a I<name=value> pair.
A I<property definition> is a sequence of comma separated properties.
-There can be any number of properties in a definition.
+There can be any number of properties in a definition, however each name must
+be unique.
For example: "" defines an empty property definition (i.e., no restriction);
"my.foo=bar" defines a property named I<my.foo> which has a string value I<bar>
and "iteration.count=3" defines a property named I<iteration.count> which
match counts in favor of the algorithm.
More details about that in the B<Lookups> section.
A I<property query> is a sequence of comma separated property query clauses.
+It is an error if a property name appears in more than one query clause.
The full syntax for property queries appears below, but the available syntactic
features are:
Value ::= NumberLiteral | StringLiteral
StringLiteral ::= QuotedString | UnquotedString
QuotedString ::= '"' [^"]* '"' | "'" [^']* "'"
- UnquotedString ::= [^{space},]+
+ UnquotedString ::= [A-Za-z] [^{space},]+
NumberLiteral ::= '0' ( [0-7]* | 'x' [0-9A-Fa-f]+ ) | '-'? [1-9] [0-9]+
- PropertyName ::= [A-Z] [A-Z0-9_]* ( '.' [A-Z] [A-Z0-9_]* )*
+ PropertyName ::= [A-Za-z] [A-Za-z0-9_]* ( '.' [A-Za-z] [A-Za-z0-9_]* )*
