Description:
The resolvedProperties() method gives me access to the 'properties' field, so I can empty it if need be.  getProperties(), setProperties() and addProperty() all access combinedProperties w/o consequentially touching properties.  But all other accessors assume that 'properties' need only be initialized if it is null. What happens when 'properties' is emptied, but then new combinedProperties are added. In mevenide, I want to be able to remove all combinedProperties and properties, and then add a new set.

Here are some suggested fixes:
(1) make resolveProperties() public so it can be called to reinit the properties list (a hack)
(2) check properties for emptiness as well as nullness (also a hack - just means that property-less objects are biased against)
(3) invalidate properties whenever addProperty() or setProperties() gets called (preferred)
