+/**
+ *
+ * nsIMemory: interface to allocate and deallocate memory. Also provides
+ * for notifications in low-memory situations.
+ *
+ * The frozen exported symbols NS_Alloc, NS_Realloc, and NS_Free
+ * provide a more efficient way to access XPCOM memory allocation. Using
+ * those symbols is preferred to using the methods on this interface.
+ *
+ * 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 three specific types of notications 
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * "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.
+ *
+ * "alloc-failure"
+ * This will be passed as the extra data when the pressure 
+ * observer has been asked to flush because a malloc() or 
+ * realloc() has failed.
