Jonathon,
Thank you for the ideas. Actually, I ended up getting rid of references to
FlexibleProperties - it didn't do anything special and only one other class is
using it.

Yeah, Properties implements Map. Isn't it possible to get a Properties from
method
getProperties(...), and the cast it to a Map?
In FlexibleProperties, override the Hashtable methods in Properties. That is,
in
FlexibleProperties, encapsulate one FastMap, and make sure all Map interfaces
use that FastMap.
