Description
Whenever the loader encounters a property name that is defined as a load method, it's value is dispatched to the load methods defined in the associated class. These properties are called pseudo-properties and can occur more than once in any given object.

Return value
The notifier returns 0 if the pseudo-property value is not parsed successfully and 1 if it is parsed successfully.

History
Load methods were introduced in [/797 ticket 797] and deployed in.
