Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Partially. I'm always frustrated when I have to write an empty default constructor to allow deserialization of Properties and INI files, while JSON frameworks such as Gson and Jackson allow the same without requiring a default constructor.

Describe the solution you'd like
A solution based on sun.misc.Unsafe so that an empty instance is created for deserialization, without calling any constructor, as described in https://dzone.com/articles/understanding-sunmiscunsafe.

Ideally, the programmer could disable this behavior via settings and use the "classic" solution, based on Reflection, if they prefer it.
