<T> Collection<ValueOrExpression<T>> getPropertyValues(PropertyDefinition<T> d)
```
    Get the property values associated with the specified property definition.
    Implementations are not required to validate the values that they provide. Specifically:
    
    they do not need to guarantee that the provided values are valid according to the property's syntax
    they do not need to provide values for mandatory properties
    they do not need to ensure that single-valued properties do contain at most one value.
    The returned set of values is allowed to contain duplicates.
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - The underlying type of the property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    d - The Property definition.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns a newly allocated set containing a copy of the property's values. An empty set indicates that the property has no values defined and any default behavior is applicable.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If this property provider does not recognise the requested property definition.
