ArchiveBase has getProperty and setProperty.

I kind of want to re-engineer the entire archive system...The root
should be able to track a stateful stack of containers such as arrays
and dictionaries as well as support non-binary reads and writes in a
more robust way.

It also still bothers me that it's the only thing in the system with
base in the base class name. I should just change it...it's going to
impact many programs, though.
