User side interface to Publish & Subscribe.

The class defines a handle to a property, a single data value representing

an item of state information. Threads can publish (change) a property value

through this handle. Threads can also subscribe

(request notification of changes) to a property value through this handle;

they can also retrieve the current property value.
