Looks up a property value relative to the environment, callers class and method. The default environment will be
checked for a matching property if defaults are being used. In order to work out the callers class and method
this method throws an exception and then searches one level up its stack frames.

@param  key The property key.

@return The value of this property searching from the most specific definition (environment, class, method, key)
to the most general (key only), unless use of default environments is turned off in which case the most
general proeprty searched is (environment, key).
