/**
 * A node in a hierarchical collection of preference data.  This class
 * allows applications to store and retrieve user and system
 * preference and configuration data.  This data is stored
 * persistently in an implementation-dependent backing store.  Typical
 * implementations include flat files, OS-specific registries,
 * directory servers and SQL databases.  The user of this class needn't
 * be concerned with details of the backing store.
 *
 * <p>There are two separate trees of preference nodes, one for user
 * preferences and one for system preferences.  Each user has a separate user
 * preference tree, and all users in a given system share the same system
 * preference tree.  The precise description of "user" and "system" will vary
 * from implementation to implementation.  Typical information stored in the
 * user preference tree might include font choice, color choice, or preferred
 * window location and size for a particular application.  Typical information
 * stored in the system preference tree might include installation
 * configuration data for an application.
 *
 * <p>Nodes in a preference tree are named in a similar fashion to
 * directories in a hierarchical file system.   Every node in a preference
 * tree has a <i>node name</i> (which is not necessarily unique),
 * a unique <i>absolute path name</i>, and a path name <i>relative</i> to each
 * ancestor including itself.
 *
 * <p>The root node has a node name of the empty string ("").  Every other
 * node has an arbitrary node name, specified at the time it is created.  The
 * only restrictions on this name are that it cannot be the empty string, and
 * it cannot contain the slash character ('/').
 *
 * <p>The root node has an absolute path name of <tt>"/"</tt>.  Children of
 * the root node have absolute path names of <tt>"/" + </tt><i>&lt;node
 * name&gt;</i>.  All other nodes have absolute path names of <i>&lt;parent's
 * absolute path name&gt;</i><tt> + "/" + </tt><i>&lt;node name&gt;</i>.
 * Note that all absolute path names begin with the slash character.
 *
 * <p>A node <i>n</i>'s path name relative to its ancestor <i>a</i>
 * is simply the string that must be appended to <i>a</i>'s absolute path name
 * in order to form <i>n</i>'s absolute path name, with the initial slash
 * character (if present) removed.  Note that:
 * <ul>
 * <li>No relative path names begin with the slash character.
 * <li>Every node's path name relative to itself is the empty string.
 * <li>Every node's path name relative to its parent is its node name (except
 * for the root node, which does not have a parent).
 * <li>Every node's path name relative to the root is its absolute path name
 * with the initial slash character removed.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Note finally that:
 * <ul>
 * <li>No path name contains multiple consecutive slash characters.
 * <li>No path name with the exception of the root's absolute path name
 * ends in the slash character.
 * <li>Any string that conforms to these two rules is a valid path name.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>All of the methods that modify preferences data are permitted to operate
 * asynchronously; they may return immediately, and changes will eventually
 * propagate to the persistent backing store with an implementation-dependent
 * delay.  The <tt>flush</tt> method may be used to synchronously force
 * updates to the backing store.  Normal termination of the Java Virtual
 * Machine will <i>not</i> result in the loss of pending updates -- an explicit
 * <tt>flush</tt> invocation is <i>not</i> required upon termination to ensure
 * that pending updates are made persistent.
 *
 * <p>All of the methods that read preferences from a <tt>Preferences</tt>
 * object require the invoker to provide a default value.  The default value is
 * returned if no value has been previously set <i>or if the backing store is
 * unavailable</i>.  The intent is to allow applications to operate, albeit
 * with slightly degraded functionality, even if the backing store becomes
 * unavailable.  Several methods, like <tt>flush</tt>, have semantics that
 * prevent them from operating if the backing store is unavailable.  Ordinary
 * applications should have no need to invoke any of these methods, which can
 * be identified by the fact that they are declared to throw {@link
 * BackingStoreException}.
 *
 * <p>The methods in this class may be invoked concurrently by multiple threads
 * in a single JVM without the need for external synchronization, and the
 * results will be equivalent to some serial execution.  If this class is used
 * concurrently <i>by multiple JVMs</i> that store their preference data in
 * the same backing store, the data store will not be corrupted, but no
 * other guarantees are made concerning the consistency of the preference
 * data.
 *
 * <p>This class contains an export/import facility, allowing preferences
 * to be "exported" to an XML document, and XML documents representing
 * preferences to be "imported" back into the system.  This facility
 * may be used to back up all or part of a preference tree, and
 * subsequently restore from the backup.
 *
 * <p>The XML document has the following DOCTYPE declaration:
 * <pre>{@code
 * <!DOCTYPE preferences SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd">
 * }</pre>
 * Note that the system URI (http://java.sun.com/dtd/preferences.dtd) is
 * <i>not</i> accessed when exporting or importing preferences; it merely
 * serves as a string to uniquely identify the DTD, which is:
 * <pre>{@code
 *    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 *
 *    <!-- DTD for a Preferences tree. -->
 *
 *    <!-- The preferences element is at the root of an XML document
 *         representing a Preferences tree. -->
 *    <!ELEMENT preferences (root)>
 *
 *    <!-- The preferences element contains an optional version attribute,
 *          which specifies version of DTD. -->
 *    <!ATTLIST preferences EXTERNAL_XML_VERSION CDATA "0.0" >
 *
 *    <!-- The root element has a map representing the root's preferences
 *         (if any), and one node for each child of the root (if any). -->
 *    <!ELEMENT root (map, node*) >
 *
 *    <!-- Additionally, the root contains a type attribute, which
 *         specifies whether it's the system or user root. -->
 *    <!ATTLIST root
 *              type (system|user) #REQUIRED >
 *
 *    <!-- Each node has a map representing its preferences (if any),
 *         and one node for each child (if any). -->
 *    <!ELEMENT node (map, node*) >
 *
 *    <!-- Additionally, each node has a name attribute -->
 *    <!ATTLIST node
 *              name CDATA #REQUIRED >
 *
 *    <!-- A map represents the preferences stored at a node (if any). -->
 *    <!ELEMENT map (entry*) >
 *
 *    <!-- An entry represents a single preference, which is simply
 *          a key-value pair. -->
 *    <!ELEMENT entry EMPTY >
 *    <!ATTLIST entry
 *              key   CDATA #REQUIRED
 *              value CDATA #REQUIRED >
 * }</pre>
 *
 * Every <tt>Preferences</tt> implementation must have an associated {@link
 * PreferencesFactory} implementation.  Every Java(TM) SE implementation must provide
 * some means of specifying which <tt>PreferencesFactory</tt> implementation
 * is used to generate the root preferences nodes.  This allows the
 * administrator to replace the default preferences implementation with an
 * alternative implementation.
 *
 * <p>Implementation note: In Sun's JRE, the <tt>PreferencesFactory</tt>
 * implementation is located as follows:
 *
 * <ol>
 *
 * <li><p>If the system property
 * <tt>java.util.prefs.PreferencesFactory</tt> is defined, then it is
 * taken to be the fully-qualified name of a class implementing the
 * <tt>PreferencesFactory</tt> interface.  The class is loaded and
 * instantiated; if this process fails then an unspecified error is
 * thrown.</p></li>
 *
 * <li><p> If a <tt>PreferencesFactory</tt> implementation class file
 * has been installed in a jar file that is visible to the
 * {@link java.lang.ClassLoader#getSystemClassLoader system class loader},
 * and that jar file contains a provider-configuration file named
 * <tt>java.util.prefs.PreferencesFactory</tt> in the resource
 * directory <tt>META-INF/services</tt>, then the first class name
 * specified in that file is taken.  If more than one such jar file is
 * provided, the first one found will be used.  The class is loaded
 * and instantiated; if this process fails then an unspecified error
 * is thrown.  </p></li>
 *
 * <li><p>Finally, if neither the above-mentioned system property nor
 * an extension jar file is provided, then the system-wide default
 * <tt>PreferencesFactory</tt> implementation for the underlying
 * platform is loaded and instantiated.</p></li>
 *
 * </ol>
