The class description of java.util.ResourceBundle mentions
that lookup result may be based on a property file, but it
doesn't specify the relationship very well..

One paragraph begins:
    The result of the lookup is a class, but that class may be
    backed by a property file on disk.

* Shouldn't this additionally say that the property file that
  backs up some lookup is named "<looked-for-class>.properties"?

* Shouldn't there be a specification that if class
  <looked-for-class> exists, then any properties file is
  ignored.

* If there are any issues regarding class loaders (e.g.,
  which class search path hierarchies are searched) they
  should be mentioned too.
