/**
 * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the {@link Preferences}
 * class, greatly easing the task of implementing it.
 *
 * <p><strong>This class is for <tt>Preferences</tt> implementers only.
 * Normal users of the <tt>Preferences</tt> facility should have no need to
 * consult this documentation.  The {@link Preferences} documentation
 * should suffice.</strong>
 *
 * <p>Implementors must override the nine abstract service-provider interface
 * (SPI) methods: {@link #getSpi(String)}, {@link #putSpi(String,String)},
 * {@link #removeSpi(String)}, {@link #childSpi(String)}, {@link
 * #removeNodeSpi()}, {@link #keysSpi()}, {@link #childrenNamesSpi()}, {@link
 * #syncSpi()} and {@link #flushSpi()}.  All of the concrete methods specify
 * precisely how they are implemented atop these SPI methods.  The implementor
 * may, at his discretion, override one or more of the concrete methods if the
 * default implementation is unsatisfactory for any reason, such as
 * performance.
 *
 * <p>The SPI methods fall into three groups concerning exception
 * behavior. The <tt>getSpi</tt> method should never throw exceptions, but it
 * doesn't really matter, as any exception thrown by this method will be
 * intercepted by {@link #get(String,String)}, which will return the specified
 * default value to the caller.  The <tt>removeNodeSpi, keysSpi,
 * childrenNamesSpi, syncSpi</tt> and <tt>flushSpi</tt> methods are specified
 * to throw {@link BackingStoreException}, and the implementation is required
 * to throw this checked exception if it is unable to perform the operation.
 * The exception propagates outward, causing the corresponding API method
 * to fail.
 *
 * <p>The remaining SPI methods {@link #putSpi(String,String)}, {@link
 * #removeSpi(String)} and {@link #childSpi(String)} have more complicated
 * exception behavior.  They are not specified to throw
 * <tt>BackingStoreException</tt>, as they can generally obey their contracts
 * even if the backing store is unavailable.  This is true because they return
 * no information and their effects are not required to become permanent until
 * a subsequent call to {@link Preferences#flush()} or
 * {@link Preferences#sync()}. Generally speaking, these SPI methods should not
 * throw exceptions.  In some implementations, there may be circumstances
 * under which these calls cannot even enqueue the requested operation for
 * later processing.  Even under these circumstances it is generally better to
 * simply ignore the invocation and return, rather than throwing an
 * exception.  Under these circumstances, however, all subsequent invocations
 * of <tt>flush()</tt> and <tt>sync</tt> should return <tt>false</tt>, as
 * returning <tt>true</tt> would imply that all previous operations had
 * successfully been made permanent.
 *
 * <p>There is one circumstance under which <tt>putSpi, removeSpi and
 * childSpi</tt> <i>should</i> throw an exception: if the caller lacks
 * sufficient privileges on the underlying operating system to perform the
 * requested operation.  This will, for instance, occur on most systems
 * if a non-privileged user attempts to modify system preferences.
 * (The required privileges will vary from implementation to
 * implementation.  On some implementations, they are the right to modify the
 * contents of some directory in the file system; on others they are the right
 * to modify contents of some key in a registry.)  Under any of these
 * circumstances, it would generally be undesirable to let the program
 * continue executing as if these operations would become permanent at a later
 * time.  While implementations are not required to throw an exception under
 * these circumstances, they are encouraged to do so.  A {@link
 * SecurityException} would be appropriate.
 *
 * <p>Most of the SPI methods require the implementation to read or write
 * information at a preferences node.  The implementor should beware of the
 * fact that another VM may have concurrently deleted this node from the
 * backing store.  It is the implementation's responsibility to recreate the
 * node if it has been deleted.
 *
 * <p>Implementation note: In Sun's default <tt>Preferences</tt>
 * implementations, the user's identity is inherited from the underlying
 * operating system and does not change for the lifetime of the virtual
 * machine.  It is recognized that server-side <tt>Preferences</tt>
 * implementations may have the user identity change from request to request,
 * implicitly passed to <tt>Preferences</tt> methods via the use of a
 * static {@link ThreadLocal} instance.  Authors of such implementations are
 * <i>strongly</i> encouraged to determine the user at the time preferences
 * are accessed (for example by the {@link #get(String,String)} or {@link
 * #put(String,String)} method) rather than permanently associating a user
 * with each <tt>Preferences</tt> instance.  The latter behavior conflicts
 * with normal <tt>Preferences</tt> usage and would lead to great confusion.
