Load properties from the named file, and pass each of them to the provided delegate.

void load (char[] path, void delegate(T[] name, T[] value) dg);

void load (InputStream stream, void delegate(T[] name, T[] value) dg);

Load properties from the provided buffer, and pass them to the specified delegate.

We use an iterator to sweep text lines, and extract lValue and rValue pairs from each one, The expected file format is as follows:

                x = y
                abc = 123
                x.y.z = this is a single property

                # this is a comment line
