// The property bag is not read or written directly. Instead, callers go
// through a PropertyAccessor. The Accessor generates the unique IDs that

//   // Note: you don't want to use Singleton for your Accessor if you're using
//   // a simple type like int or string as the data, since it will enforce that
//   // there is only one singleton for that type, which will conflict. If
