  @note

  Has two general kinds of state to make persistent.  (I.e., to read and
  write.)  First, Qgis proprietary information.  Second plug-in information.

  A singleton since there shall only be one active project at a time; and
  provides canonical location for plug-ins and main app to find/set
  properties.

  Might want to consider moving from Singleton; i.e., allowing more than one
  project.  Just as the GIMP can have simultaneous multiple images, perhaps
  qgis can one day have simultaneous multiple projects.

       This allows for extra properties to be associated with projects.  Think

       Properties are arbitrary values keyed by a name and associated with a
       scope.  The scope would presumably refer to your plug-in.

       E.g., open modeller might use:

       @todo "properties" is, overall, a good name; but that might imply that
       the qgis specific state properites are different since they aren't
       accessible here.  Actually, what if we make "qgis" yet another
       scope that stores its state in the properties list?  E.g.,
