/// Gets a property from the configuration.
/// This is the most basic get method for retrieving values of properties.
/// In a typical implementation of the <see cref="IConfiguration"/> interface the other get methods
/// (that return specific data types) will internally make use of this method.
/// On this level variable substitution is not yet performed. The returned
/// object is an internal representation of the property value for the passed
/// in key. It is owned by the <see cref="IConfiguration"/> object. So a caller
/// should not modify this object. It cannot be guaranteed that this object
/// will stay constant over time (i.e. further update operations on the
/// configuration may change its internal state).
/// </summary>
/// <param name="key">The property to retrieve</param>
/// <returns>
/// The value to which this configuration maps the specified key,
/// or null if the configuration contains no mapping for this key.
