## Detailed Description

this metaclass installs PropertyProxy descriptors for Gaudi properties

    The setting of Gaudi component properties needs to be deferred and
       history of who set what where needs to be collected. This is done
       by using PropertyProxy descriptors rather than the default ones.

    To Gaudi, any object with the same type/name is the same object. Hence,
       this is mimicked in the configuration: instantiating a new Configurable
       of a type with the same name will return the same instance.
