    @andrewor14 I'm thinking maybe we should not use `new Properties(parent)` 
here. Instead, always copy the parent's Properties to the child's Properties. 
Do you think if the child thread needs to see the further changes to the parent 
thread's Properties after creating?
    
    This is really confusing when using `Executor` like `ForkJoinPool`, in 
which thread A creates thread B but thread B is not a child of thread A. But 
thread B still can see the changes in thread A.
    
    /cc @jerryshao since you added this line.
