+/**
+ * Custom nsIMimeEmitter to build a sub-optimal javascript representation of a
+ *  MIME message.  The intent is that a better mechanism than is evolved to
+ *  provide a javascript-accessible representation of the message.
+ *
+ * Processing occurs in two passes.  During the first pass, libmime is parsing
+ *  the stream it is receiving, and generating header and body events for all
+ *  MimeMessage instances it encounters.  This provides us with the knowledge
+ *  of each nested message in addition to the top level message, their headers
+ *  and sort-of their bodies.  The sort-of is that we may get more than
+ *  would normally be displayed in cases involving multipart/alternatives.
+ * During the second pass, the libmime object model is traversed, generating
+ *  attachment notifications for all leaf nodes.  From our perspective, this
+ *  means file attachments and embedded messages (message/rfc822).  We use this
+ *  pass to create the attachment objects and properly structure the MIME part
+ *  hierarchy.  We extract the 'part name' (ex: 1.2.2.1) from the URL provided
+ *  with the attacment and rely on the fact that the attachment notifications
+ *  are generated as the result of an in-order traversal of the hierarchy.  We
+ *  generate MimeUnknown instances for apparent leaf nodes (nodes for whom
+ *  we did not hear about and do not know of any of their children), and
+ *  MimeContainer instances for apparent container nodes (nodes for whom we
+ *  know about one or more children).

+ *  (aggregating) layer on top of things, rather than complicating the lower
+ *  levels.)
+ *
+ * === Object Identity / Caching
+ *
+ * The issue of object identity is handled by integration with the collection.js
+ *  provided GlodaCollectionManager.  By "Object Identity", I mean that we only
+ *  should ever have one object instance alive at a time that corresponds to
+ *  an underlying database row in the database.  Where possible we avoid
+ *  performing database look-ups when we can check if the object is already
+ *  present in memory; in practice, this means when we are asking for an object
+ *  by ID.  When we cannot avoid a database query, we attempt to make sure that
+ *  we do not return a duplicate object instance, instead replacing it with the
+ *  'live' copy of the object.  (Ideally, we would avoid any redundant
+ *  construction costs, but that is not currently the case.)
+ * Although you should consult the GlodaCollectionManager for details, the
+ *  general idea is that we have 'collections' which represent views of the
+ *  database (based on a query) which use a single mechanism for double duty.
+ *  The collections are registered with the collection manager via weak
+ *  reference.  The first 'duty' is that since the collections may be desired
+ *  to be 'live views' of the data, we want them to update as changes occur.
+ *  The weak reference allows the collection manager to track the 'live'
+ *  collections and update them.  The second 'duty' is the caching/object
+ *  identity duty.  In theory, every live item should be referenced by at least
+ *  one collection, making it reachable for object identity/caching purposes.
+ * There is also an explicit (inclusive) caching layer present to both try and
+ *  avoid poor performance from some of the costs of this strategy, as well as
+ *  to try and keep track of objects that are being worked with that are not
+ *  (yet) tracked by a collection.  Using a size-bounded cache is clearly not
+ *  a guarantee of correctness for this, but is suspected will work quite well.
+ *  (Well enough to be dangerous because the inevitable failure case will not be
+ *  expected.)
+ *
+ * The current strategy may not be the optimal one, feel free to propose and/or
+ *  implement better ones, especially if you have numbers.
+ * The current strategy is not fully implemented in this file, but the common
+ *  cases are believed to be covered.  (Namely, we fail to purge items from the
+ *  cache as they are purged from the database.)
+ *
+ * === Things That May Not Be Obvious (Gotchas)
+ *
+ * Although the schema includes "triggers", they are currently not used
+ *  and were added when thinking about implementing the feature.  We will
+ *  probably implement this feature at some point, which is why they are still
+ *  in there.
+ *
+ * We, and the layers above us, are not sufficiently thorough at cleaning out
+ *  data from the database, and may potentially orphan it _as new functionality
+ *  is added in the future at layers above us_.  That is, currently we should
+ *  not be leaking database rows, but we may in the future.  This is because
+ *  we/the layers above us lack a mechanism to track dependencies based on
+ *  attributes.  Say a plugin exists that extracts recipes from messages and
+ *  relates them via an attribute.  To do so, it must create new recipe rows
+ *  in its own table as new recipes are discovered.  No automatic mechanism
+ *  will purge recipes as their source messages are purged, nor does any
+ *  event-driven mechanism explicitly inform the plugin.  (It could infer
+ *  such an event from the indexing/attribute-providing process, or poll the
+ *  states of attributes to accomplish this, but that is not desirable.)  This
+ *  needs to be addressed, and may be best addressed at layers above
+ *  datastore.js.

+/**
+ * Provides the user-visible (and extension visible) global database
+ *  functionality.  There is currently a dependency/ordering
+ *  problem in that the concept of 'gloda' also includes some logic that is
+ *  contributed by built-in extensions, if you will.  Those built-in extensions
+ *  (fundattr.js, explattr.js) also import this file.  To avoid a circular
+ *  dependency, those built-in extensions are loaded by everybody.js.  The
+ *  simplest/best solution is probably to move everybody.js to be gloda.js and
+ *  have it re-export only 'Gloda'.  gloda.js (this file) can then move to be
+ *  gloda_int.js (or whatever our eventual naming scheme is), which built-in
+ *  extensions can explicitly rely upon.
+ *
+ * === Concepts
+ *
+ * == Nouns
+ *
+ * Inspired by reasonable uses of triple-stores, I have tried to leverage
+ *  existing model and terminology rather than rolling out own for everything.
+ *  The idea with triple-stores is that you have a subject, a predicate, and an
+ *  object.  For example, if we are talking about a message, that is the
+ *  subject, the predicate could roughly be sent-by, and the object a person.
+ *  We can generalize this idea to say that the subject and objects are nouns.
+ * Since we want to be more flexible than only dealing with messages, we
+ *  therefore introduce the concept of nouns as an organizing principle.
+ *
+ * == Attributes
+ *
+ * Our attributes definitions are basically our predicates.  When we define
+ *  an attribute, it's a label with a bunch of meta-data.  Our attribute
+ *  instances are basically a 'triple' in a triple-store.  The attributes
+ *  are stored in database rows that imply a specific noun-type (ex: the
+ *  messageAttributes table), with an ID identifying the message which is our
+ *  subject, an attribute ID which identifies the attribute definition in use
+ *  (and therefore the predicate), plus an object ID (given context aka the
+ *  noun type by the attribute's meta-data) which identifies the 'object'.
+ *
+ * == But...
+ *
+ * Things aren't entirely as clear as they could be right now, terminology/
+ *  concept/implementation-wise.  Some work is probably still in order.
+ *
+ * === Implementation
+ *
+ * == Nouns
+ *
+ * So, we go and define the nouns that are roughly the classes in our data
+ *  model.  Every 'class' we define in datamodel.js is a noun that gets defined
+ *  here in the Gloda core.  We provide sufficient meta-data about the noun to
+ *  serialize/deserialize its representation from our database representation.
+ *  Nouns do not have to be defined in this class, but can also be contributed
+ *  by external code.
+ * We have a concept of 'first class' nouns versus non-first class nouns.  The
+ *  distinction is meant to be whether we can store meta-information about those
+ *  nouns using attributes.  Right now, only message are real first-class nouns,
+ *  but we want to expand that to include contacts and eventually events and
+ *  tasks as lightning-integration occurs.  In practice, we are stretching the
+ *  definition of first-class nouns slightly to include things we can't store
+ *  meta-data about, but want to be able to query about.  We do want to resolve
+ *  this.
+ *
+ * == Attributes
+ *
+ * Attributes are defined by "attribute providers" who are responsible for
+ *  taking an instance of a first-class noun (for which they are registered)
+ *  plus perhaps some other meta-data, and returning a list of attributes
+ *  extracted from that noun.  For now, this means messages.  Attribute
+ *  providers may create new data records as a side-effect of the indexing
+ *  process, although we have not yet fully dealt with the problem of deleting
+ *  these records should they become orphaned in the database due to the
+ *  purging of a message and its attributes.
+ * All of the 'core' gloda attributes are provided by the fundattr.js and
+ *  explattr.js providers.
+ *
+ * === (Notable) Future Work
+ *
+ * == Attributes
+ *
+ * Attribute mechanisms currently lack any support for 'overriding' attributes
+ *  provided by other attribute providers.  For example, the fundattr provider
+ *  tells us who a message is 'from' based on the e-mail address present.
+ *  However, other plugins may actually know better.  For example, the bugzilla
+ *  daemon e-mails based on bug activity although the daemon gets the credit
+ *  as the official sender.  A bugzilla plugin can easily extract the actual
+ *  person/e-mail addressed who did something on the bug to cause the
+ *  notification to be sent.  In practice, we would like that person to be
+ *  the 'sender' of the bugmail.  But we can't really do that right, yet.

+   * @param allowsArbitraryAttrs Is this a 'first class noun'/can it be a subject, AKA can
+   *     this noun have attributes stored on it that relate it to other things?
+   *     For example, a message is first-class; we store attributes of

+   *     database to persist itself.  Use of parameters should be limited
+   *     to a reasonable number of values (16-32 is okay, more than that is

+   *     function is expected to return null for the parameter and likewise your
+   *     fromParamAndValue should expect ignore and generally ignore the

+   * @param provider The object instance providing a 'process' method.
+   * @param extensionName The name of the extension providing these attributes.
+   * @param attributeType The type of attribute, one of the values from the
+   *     kAttr* enumeration.
+   * @param attributeName The name of the attribute, which also doubles as the
+   *     bound property name if you pass 'bind' a value of true.  You are
+   *     responsible for avoiding collisions, which presumably will mean
+   *     checking/updating a wiki page in the future, or just prefixing your
+   *     attribute name with your extension name or something like that.
+   * @param bind Should this attribute be 'bound' as a convenience attribute
+   *     on the subject's object (true/false)?  For example, with an
+   *     attributeName of "foo" and passing true for 'bind' with a subject noun
+   *     of NOUN_MESSAGE, GlodaMessage instances will expose a "foo" getter
+   *     that returns the value of the attribute.  If 'singular' is true, this
+   *     means an instance of the object class corresponding to the noun type or
+   *     null if the attribute does not exist.  If 'singular' is false, this
+   *     means a list of instances of the object class corresponding to the noun
+   *     type, where the list may be empty if no instances of the attribute are
+   *     present.
+   * @param bindName Optional override of attributeName for purposes of the
+   *     binding property's name.
+   * @param singular Is the attribute going to happen at most once (true),
+   *     or potentially multiple times (false).  This affects whether
+   *     the binding  returns a list or just a single item (which is null when
+   *     the attribute is not present).
+   * @param subjectNouns A list of object types (NOUNs) that this attribute can
+   *     be set on.  Each element in the list should be one of the NOUN_*
+   *     constants or a dynamically registered noun type.
+   * @param objectNoun The object type (one of the NOUN_* constants or a
+   *     dynamically registered noun types) that is the 'object' in the
+   *     traditional RDF triple.  More pragmatically, in the database row used
+   *     to represent an attribute, we store the subject (ex: message ID),

+   *  'OR'ing of those values.  Additionally, you can call or() on the returned

+   *  alternate queries. query.or().or() is equivalent to query.or())
+   * For each attribute, there is a constraint with the same name that takes
+   *  one or more arguments.  The arguments represent a set of OR values that

+   *  effectively ANDed together, just invoke the constraint function
+   *  multiple times.)  For example, newQuery(NOUN_PERSON).age(25) would
+   *  constraint to all the people aged 25, while age(25, 26) would constrain
+   *  to all the people age 25 or 26.
+   * For each attribute with a 'continuous' noun, there is a constraint with the
+   *  attribute name with "Range" appended.  It takes two arguments which are an
+   *  inclusive lower bound and an inclusive lower bound for values in the
+   *  range.  If you would like an open-ended range on either side, pass null
+   *  for that argument.  If you would like to specify multiple ranges that
+   *  should be ORed together, simply pass additional (pairs of) arguments.
+   *  For example, newQuery(NOUN_PERSON).age(25,100) would constraint to all
+   *  the people who are >= 25 and <= 100.  Likewise age(25, null) would just
+   *  return all the people who are 25 or older.  And age(25,30,35,40) would
