Notes
When token properties are created during campaign, they are persistent in the MapTool campaign, regardless of whether they are editable in the Edit Token window. In other words, even though a property is removed from the campaign properties, it remains available in the MapTool code. getPropertyNames() will return all token properties that exist or have ever existed in the particular campaign, even if users cannot directly edit those properties (i.e., they do not appear in the token's properties when you double click on a token). To get only properties that are currently visible and editable, use getAllPropertyNames().
