drive-by naming question: Is there any particular reason that the directory is
"preference*s*", the interfaces are "preference", and the methods are
"preference*s*" again? It seems inconsistent.

Nope, just drift from when this was in the components/prefs/ dir, and there was
a Preference struct here.

For consistency I'll update these interfaces to "preferences"

Done.
