/**
* Helper interface for allowing scripts to treat nsIArray instances as if
* they were nsISupportsArray instances while iterating.
*
* nsISupportsArray is convenient to iterate over in JavaScript:
*
* for (let i = 0; i < array.Count(); ++i) {
* let elem = array.GetElementAt(i);
* ...
* }
*
* but doing the same with nsIArray is somewhat less convenient, since
* queryElementAt is not nearly so nice to use from JavaScript. So we provide
* this extension interface so interfaces that currently return
* nsISupportsArray can start returning nsIArrayExtensions and all JavaScript
* should Just Work. Eventually we'll roll this interface into nsIArray
* itself, possibly getting rid of the Count() method, as it duplicates
* nsIArray functionality.
