* The three forms of NS_NewAtom and do_GetAtom (for use with

* Atoms are intended to make string comparison cheaper by simplifying
* it to pointer equality. A pointer to the atom that does not own a
* reference is not guaranteed to be valid.
*
* The three forms of NS_NewPermanentAtom and do_GetPermanentAtom return
* the atom for the given string and ensure that the atom is permanent.
* An atom that is permanent will exist (occupy space at a specific
* location in memory) until XPCOM is shut down. The advantage of
* permanent atoms is that they do not need to maintain a reference
* count, which requires locking and hurts performance.
