* @file
* This module is used for storing changes to settings that are
* requested by extensions, and for finding out what the current value
* of a setting should be, based on the precedence chain.
*
* When multiple extensions request to make a change to a particular
* setting, the most recently installed extension will be given
* precedence.
*
* This precedence chain of settings is stored in JSON format,
* without indentation, using UTF-8 encoding.
* With indentation applied, the file would look like this:
*
* {
* type: { // The type of settings being stored in this object, i.e., prefs.
* key: { // The unique key for the setting.
* initialValue, // The initial value of the setting.
* precedenceList: [
* {
* id, // The id of the extension requesting the setting.
* installDate, // The install date of the extension, stored as a number.
* value, // The value of the setting requested by the extension.
* enabled // Whether the setting is currently enabled.
* }
* ],
* },
* key: {
* // ...
* }
* }
* }
