I don't know why there are duplicate methods for the same concept.

I propose we add getOptions, and deprecate getProperties, setProperties, hasProperties.

And getOptions should return an unmodifiable map.

I disagree about the generic names; I like short names.  Eclipse finds references pretty well.

>  addOption
>  removeOption
>  addOptions
>  clearOptions
> {noformat}
