/**
* An nsIFile is an abstract representation of a filename. It manages
* filename encoding issues, pathname component separators ('/' vs. '\\'
* vs. ':') and weird stuff like differing volumes with identical names, as
* on pre-Darwin Macintoshes.
*
* This file has long introduced itself to new hackers with this opening
* paragraph:
*
* This is the only correct cross-platform way to specify a file.
* Strings are not such a way. If you grew up on windows or unix, you
* may think they are. Welcome to reality.
*
* While taking the pose struck here to heart would be uncalled for, one
* may safely conclude that writing cross-platform code is an embittering
* experience.
*
* All methods with string parameters have two forms. The preferred
* form operates on UCS-2 encoded characters strings. An alternate
* form operates on characters strings encoded in the "native" charset.
*
* A string containing characters encoded in the native charset cannot
* be safely passed to javascript via xpconnect. Therefore, the "native
* methods" are not scriptable.
