You're right; its not used anywhere; it just sits there in the class
with some javadoc that suggests that people use it.
Maybe we should deprecate the constant and indicate that people
choose their own "global" property name and use it as they see fit.
+1 to deprecate from me. I'm not dead against enhancing to providing
some useful behaviour - its just I don't personally need it and
questions about messages/properties/keys seem to come up regularly
enough that IMO its already an area that causes confusion and I would
prefer any additions didn't make it more confusing.
