SYNOPSIS
        <inherit list>
        ...
        inherit "/lib/getproperties";

        ...
        mixed *alist;

        alist = get_properties();

        Or:
        mixed *alist;

        alist = (mixed *)call_other("/lib/getproperties","get_properties");
        (equivalent to
        alist = (mixed *)"/lib/getproperties"->get_properties()
        )

        The function get_properties() parses the file "/sys/properties.h"
        and returns an alist of all found #defines of properties.

        inherit "/lib/getproperties";
        ...

        if(assoc("P_FOO",get_properties()[0]) == -1) {
           write("There is no property P_FOO predefined!\n");
        }

        string prop;
        prop = assoc("P_FOO",get_properties());
        if(function_exists("Set" + prop, testobject)) {
          write("The property P_FOO is builtin in " +
                object_name(testobject) + "!\n" +
                "You can use Set" + prop +
                "(arg) instead of SetProp(P_FOO,arg)!\n");
        }
