Property (Neo4j Cypher DSL (Core) 9999-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

Expression, Visitable
```
@API(status=EXPERIMENTAL,
     since="1.0")
public interface Property
extends Expression
```
A property. A property might belong to a container such as a Node or Relationship, but it's not uncommon to extract single properties from maps or from various datatypes such as a duration returned from stored procedures. The container can be retrieved via getContainer() in case the property belongs to a node or relationship.
A property has always a reference to the name of the object it was extracted from.
