Description

I believe in version 1.7 the IOFactory was added to PropertiesConfiguration to make it easy to replace the reader and writer. The default reader, PropertiesReader, does not have any private methods. It has protected methods to set the property name, separator, and value. The same cannot be said for the writer, PropertiesWriter. It has private methods like escapeKey, escapeValue, handleBackslashs, and makeSingleLineValue. It makes extending this class difficult. Can those private methods be turned protected?
