/**
* The nsIInterfaceRequestor interface defines a generic interface for
* requesting objects that a given object might implement. This is very
* similar to QueryInterface found in nsISupports. The main difference being
* that objects returned from this interface are not required to provide a way
* back to the object implementing this interface. The semantics of QI()
* dictate that given an interface A that you QI() on to get to interface B,
* you must be able to QI on B to get back to A. This interface however
* allows you to obtain an interface C from A that may or most likely will not
* have the ability to get back to A.
