/**
 * <p>
 *   NSUserDefaults provides an interface to the defaults system,
 *   which allows an application access to global and/or application
 *   specific defaults set by the user. A particular instance of
 *   NSUserDefaults, standardUserDefaults, is provided as a
 *   convenience. Most of the information described below
 *   pertains to the standardUserDefaults. It is unlikely
 *   that you would want to instantiate your own userDefaults
 *   object, since it would not be set up in the same way as the
 *   standardUserDefaults.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   Defaults are managed based on <em>domains</em>. Certain
 *   domains, such as <code>NSGlobalDomain</code>, are
 *   persistent. These domains have defaults that are stored
 *   externally. Other domains are volatile. The defaults in
 *   these domains remain in effect only during the existence of
 *   the application and may in fact be different for
 *   applications running at the same time. When asking for a
 *   default value from standardUserDefaults, NSUserDefaults
 *   looks through the various domains in a particular order.
 * </p>
 * <deflist>
 *   <term><code>GSPrimaryDomain</code> ... volatile</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Contains values set at runtime and intended to supercede any values
 *     set in other domains.  This should be used with great care since it
 *     overrides values which may have been set explicitly by the user.
 *   </desc>
 *   <term><code>NSArgumentDomain</code> ... volatile</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Contains defaults read from the arguments provided
 *     to the application at startup.<br />
 *     Pairs of arguments are used for this, with the first argument in
 *     each pair being the name of a default (with a hyphen prepended)
 *     and the second argument of the pair being the value of the default.<br />
 *     NB. In GNUstep special arguments of the form <code>--GNU-Debug=...</code>
 *     are used to enable debugging.  Despite beginning with a hyphen, these
 *     are not treated as default keys.
 *   </desc>
 *   <term>Application (name of the current process) ... persistent</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Contains application specific defaults, such as window positions.
 *     This is the domain used by the -setObject:forKey: method and is
 *     the domain normally used when setting preferences for an application.
 *   </desc>
 *   <term><code>NSGlobalDomain</code> ... persistent</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Global defaults applicable to all applications.
 *   </desc>
 *   <term>Language (name based on users's language) ... volatile</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Constants that help with localization to the users's
 *     language.
 *   </desc>
 *   <term><code>GSConfigDomain</code> ... volatile</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Information retrieved from the GNUstep configuration system.
 *     Usually the system wide and user specific GNUstep.conf files,
 *     or from information compiled in when the base library was
 *     built.<br />
 *     In addition to this standard configuration information, this
 *     domain contains all values from property lists store in the
 *     GlobalDefaults subdirectory or from the GlobalDefaults.plist file
 *     stored in the same directory as the system wide GNUstep.conf
 *     file.
 *   </desc>
 *   <term><code>NSRegistrationDomain</code> ... volatile</term>
 *   <desc>
 *     Temporary defaults set up by the application.
 *   </desc>
 * </deflist>
 * <p>
 *   The <em>NSLanguages</em> default value is used to set up the
 *   constants for localization. GNUstep will also look for the
 *   <code>LANGUAGES</code> environment variable if it is not set
 *   in the defaults system. If it exists, it consists of an
 *   array of languages that the user prefers. At least one of
 *   the languages should have a corresponding localization file
 *   (typically located in the <file>Languages</file> directory
 *   of the GNUstep resources).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   As a special extension, on systems that support locales
 *   (e.g. GNU/Linux and Solaris), GNUstep will use information
 *   from the user specified locale, if the <em>NSLanguages</em>
 *   default value is not found. Typically the locale is
 *   specified in the environment with the <code>LANG</code>
 *   environment variable.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   The first change to a persistent domain after a -synchronize
 *   will cause an NSUserDefaultsDidChangeNotification to be posted
 *   (as will any change caused by reading new values from disk),
 *   so your application can keep track of changes made to the
 *   defaults by other software.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 *   NB. The GNUstep implementation differs from the Apple one in
 *   that it is thread-safe while Apple's (as of MacOS-X 10.1) is not.
 * </p>
