Detailed Description

this metaclass installs PropertyProxy descriptors for Gaudi properties

The setting of Gaudi component properties needs to be deferred and
   history of who set what where needs to be collected. This is done
   by using PropertyProxy descriptors rather than the default ones.

__call__()

python.ConfigurableMeta.ConfigurableMeta.__call__	(		cls,
		*	args,
		**	kwargs )

To Gaudi, any object with the same type/name is the same object. Hence,
   this is mimicked in the configuration: instantiating a new Configurable
   of a type with the same name will return the same instance.
