 Return dictionary of property name and type from a class.
 Useful for Key-Value Coding. For example:
 
     - (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)encoder {
         //Encode properties, other class variables, etc
         NSDictionary* propertyDict = [Utils propertiesForClass:[self class]];
 
         for (NSString* key in propertyDict) {
             id value = [self valueForKey:key];
             [encoder encodeObject:value forKey:key];
         }
     }
 
     - (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
         if((self = [super init])) {
         //decode properties, other class vars
             NSDictionary* propertyDict = [Utils propertiesForClass:[self class]];
 
             for (NSString* key in propertyDict) {
                 id value = [decoder decodeObjectForKey:key];
                 [self setValue:value forKey:key];
             }
         }
         return self;
     }
