UserDict.DictMixin --+

                    _FEPIOProperty

A dictionary of fepio properties, with all dict methods. Properties can be accessed via the m2io dataname as it appears in the maestro file.

Property names must be m2io data names, which are in the format '<type>_<author>_<property_name>', where '<type>' is a data type prefix, '<author>' is a source specification, and '<property_name>' is the actual name of the data.

The data type prefix can specified as 's' for string, 'i' for integer, 'r' for real and 'b' for boolean. The author specification should be 'user' for user created properties. The property name can have embedded underscores.

Some example m2io datanames are 'r_m_x_coord', which indicates a real maestro property named 'x coord', and 'i_user_my_count' which indicates an integer user property named 'my count'.

To convert to the _FEPIOProperty to a real dictionary:

   d = dict(st.ffio.property)
