+/*
+ * Implements low-overhead integration between components of the application.
+ * This may have different uses depending on the component, including:
+ *
+ * - Providing product-specific implementations registered at startup.
+ * - Using alternative implementations during unit tests.
+ * - Allowing add-ons to change specific behaviors.
+ *
+ * Components may define one or more integration points, each defined by a
+ * root integration object whose properties and methods are the public interface
+ * and default implementation of the integration point. For example:
+ *
+ * const DownloadIntegration = {
+ * getTemporaryDirectory() {
+ * return "/tmp/";
+ * },
+ *
+ * getTemporaryFile(name) {
+ * return this.getTemporaryDirectory() + name;
+ * },
+ * };
+ *
+ * Other parts of the application may register overrides for some or all of the
+ * defined properties and methods. The component defining the integration point
+ * does not have to be loaded at this stage, because the name of the integration
+ * point is the only information required. For example, if the integration point
+ * is called "downloads":
+ *
+ * Integration.downloads.register(base => ({
+ * getTemporaryDirectory() {
+ * return base.getTemporaryDirectory.call(this) + "subdir/";
+ * },
+ * }));
+ *
+ * When the component defining the integration point needs to call a method on
+ * the integration object, instead of using it directly the component would use
+ * the "getCombined" method to retrieve an object that includes all overrides.
+ * For example:
+ *
+ * let combined = Integration.downloads.getCombined(DownloadIntegration);
+ * Assert.is(combined.getTemporaryFile("file"), "/tmp/subdir/file");
+ *
+ * Overrides can be registered at startup or at any later time, so each call to
+ * "getCombined" may return a different object. The simplest way to create a
+ * reference to the combined object that stays updated to the latest version is
+ * to define the root object in a JSM and use the "defineModuleGetter" method.
+ *
+ * *** Registration ***
+ *
+ * Since the interface is not declared formally, the registrations can happen
+ * at startup without loading the component, so they do not affect performance.
+ *
+ * Hovever, this module does not provide a startup registry, this means that the
+ * code that registers and implements the override must be loaded at startup.
+ *
+ * If performance for the override code is a concern, you can take advantage of
+ * the fact that the function used to create the override is called lazily, and
+ * include only a stub loader for the final code in an existing startup module.
+ *
+ * The registration of overrides should be repeated for each process where the
+ * relevant integration methods will be called.
+ *
+ * *** Accessing base methods and properties ***
+ *
+ * Overrides are included in the prototype chain of the combined object in the
+ * same order they were registered, where the first is closest to the root.
+ *
+ * When defining overrides, you do not need to manipulate the prototype chain of
+ * the objects you create, because their properties and methods are moved to a
+ * new object with the correct prototype. If you do, however, you can call base
+ * properties and methods using the "super" keyword. For example:
+ *
+ * Integration.downloads.register(base => {
+ * let newObject = {
+ * getTemporaryDirectory() {
+ * return super.getTemporaryDirectory() + "subdir/";
+ * },
+ * };
+ * Object.setPrototypeOf(newObject, base);
+ * return newObject;
+ * });
+ *
+ * *** State handling ***
+ *
+ * Storing state directly on the combined integration object using the "this"
+ * reference is not recommended. When a new integration is registered, own
+ * properties stored on the old combined object are copied to the new combined
+ * object using a shallow copy, but the "this" reference for new invocations
+ * of the methods will be different.
+ *
+ * If the root object defines a property that always points to the same object,
+ * for example a "state" property, you can safely use it across registrations.
+ *
+ * Integration overrides provided by restartless add-ons should not use the
+ * "this" reference to store state, to avoid conflicts with other add-ons.
+ *
+ * *** Interaction with XPCOM ***
+ *
+ * Providing the combined object as an argument to any XPCOM method will
+ * generate a console error message, and will throw an exception where possible.
+ * For example, you cannot register observers directly on the combined object.
+ * This helps preventing mistakes due to the fact that the combined object
+ * reference changes when new integration overrides are registered.
