+    Preferences are stored by Chromium as a hierarchical dictionary.
+    dot-separated paths can be used to refer to a particular preference.
+    example: "session.restore_on_startup"
+
+    Some preferences are managed, that is, they cannot be changed by the
+    user. It's up to the user to know which ones can be changed. Typically,
+    the options available via Chromium preferences can be changed.
+
+    Args:
+      path: the path the preference key that needs to be changed
+            example: "session.restore_on_startup"
+            One of the equivalent names in chrome/common/pref_names.h could
+            also be used.
+      value: the value to be set. It could be plain values like int, bool,
+             string or complex ones like list.
+             The user has to ensure that the right value is specified for the
+             right key. It's useful to dump the preferences first to determine
+             what type is expected for a particular preference path.
