    10  * Handles arguments on the command line of an XUL application.
    11  *
    12  * Each handler is registered in the category "command-line-handler".
    13  * The entries in this category are read in alphabetical order, and each
    14  * category value is treated as a service contractid implementing this
    15  * interface.
    16  *
    17  * By convention, handler with ordinary priority should begin with "m".
    18  *
    19  * Example:
    20  * Category             Entry          Value
    21  * command-line-handler b-jsdebug      @mozilla.org/venkman/clh;1
    22  * command-line-handler c-extensions   @mozilla.org/extension-manager/clh;1
    23  * command-line-handler m-edit         @mozilla.org/composer/clh;1
    24  * command-line-handler m-irc          @mozilla.org/chatzilla/clh;1
    25  * command-line-handler y-final        @mozilla.org/browser/clh-final;1
    26  *
    27  * @note What do we do about localizing helpInfo? Do we make each handler do it,
    28  *       or provide a generic solution of some sort? Don't freeze this interface
    29  *       without thinking about this!
