      All, as given in the current online documentation

      I need the Properties file to indicate which set of defaults it should be
      attached to. In some cases, there is translation and verification before the
      parent Properties object a/k/a default, is fully identified.

      Adding this method: setDefault() avoids my having to extend java.util.Properties
      to add just this one method.

      The actual example is a page templating system where the properties file
      identifies which set of defaults it overrides.

      As I can set the default as the Properties object is created, it seems
      reasonable to be able to change it later.
