+/**
+ *
+ * A client that wishes to be notified of low memory situations (for
+ * example, because the client maintains a large memory cache that
+ * could be released when memory is tight) should register with the
+ * observer service (see nsIObserverService) using the topic
+ * "memory-pressure".  There are specific types of notifications
+ * that can occur.  These types will be passed as the |aData|
+ * parameter of the of the "memory-pressure" notification:
+ *
+ * "low-memory"
+ * This will be passed as the extra data when the pressure
+ * observer is being asked to flush for low-memory conditions.
+ *
+ * "low-memory-ongoing"
+ * This will be passed when we continue to be in a low-memory
+ * condition and we want to flush caches and do other cheap
+ * forms of memory minimization, but heavy handed approaches like
+ * a GC are unlikely to succeed.
+ *
+ * "heap-minimize"
+ * This will be passed as the extra data when the pressure
+ * observer is being asked to flush because of a heap minimize
+ * call.
