This is the indexer for the BuildPropertyGroup class, which allows the caller to set or get the property data using simple array indexer [] notation. The caller passes in the property name inside the [], and out comes the BuildProperty object, which can be typecast to a string in order to get just the property value. Or if it's used on the left of the "=" sign, the same notation can set a new BuildProperty object, overwriting. Getting a value requires the property group be virtual.
