Thanks for changing the approach, I think this is much better. On the 
implementation then I assume you need to synchronize around the 
get+remove. The regression tests isn't in this webrev but you might want 
to go back over the comments on the original test. Also didn't we agree 
to also update Properties.getProperty to make it clear that it returns 
null when the value is not a String?
