// Class for manipulating preferences. Aside from wrapping the pref
// service, useful functionality includes:
//
// - abstracting prefobserving so that you can observe preferences
//   without implementing nsIObserver 
// 
// - getters that return a default value when the pref doesn't exist 
//   (instead of throwing)
// 
// - get-and-set getters
//
// Example:
// 
// var p = new PROT_Preferences();
// dump(p.getPref("some-true-pref"));     // shows true
// dump(p.getPref("no-such-pref", true)); // shows true   
// dump(p.getPref("no-such-pref", null)); // shows null
//
// function observe(prefThatChanged) {
//   dump("Pref changed: " + prefThatChanged);
// };
//
// p.addObserver("somepref", observe);
// p.setPref("somepref", true);            // dumps
// p.removeObserver("somepref", observe);
//
// TODO: should probably have the prefobserver pass in the new and old
//       values

// TODO(tc): Maybe remove this class and just call natively since we're no
//           longer an extension.
