* JumpLists
*
* Jump lists are built and then applied. Modifying an applied jump list is not
* permitted. Callers should begin the creation of a new jump list using
* initListBuild, add sub lists using addListToBuild, then commit the jump list
* using commitListBuild. Lists are built in real-time during the sequence of
* build calls, make sure to check for errors on each individual step.
*
* The default number of allowed items in a jump list is ten. Users can change
* the number through system preferences. User may also pin items to jump lists,
* which take up additional slots. Applications do not have control over the
* number of items allowed in jump lists; excess items added are dropped by the
* system. Item insertion priority is defined as first to last added.
*
* Users may remove items from jump lists after they are commited. The system
* tracks removed items between commits. A list of these items is returned by
* a call to initListBuild. nsIJumpListBuilder does not filter entries added that
* have been removed since the last commit. To prevent repeatedly adding entries
* users have removed, applications are encoraged to track removed items
* internally.
*
* Each list is made up of an array of nsIJumpListItem representing items
* such as shortcuts, links, and separators. See nsIJumpListItem for information
* on adding additional jump list types.

* change often, if at all - similar to an application menu.
*
* Tasks are given the highest priority of all lists when space is limited.
