   5 // A helper class that stays in sync with a preference (bool, int, real,
   6 // string or filepath).  For example:
   7 //
   8 // class MyClass {
   9 //  public:
  10 //   MyClass(PrefService* prefs) {
  11 //     my_string_.Init(prefs::kHomePage, prefs);
  12 //   }
  13 //  private:
  14 //   StringPrefMember my_string_;
  15 // };
  16 //
  17 // my_string_ should stay in sync with the prefs::kHomePage pref and will
  18 // update if either the pref changes or if my_string_.SetValue is called.
  19 //
  20 // An optional observer can be passed into the Init method which can be used to
  21 // notify MyClass of changes. Note that if you use SetValue(), the observer
  22 // will not be notified.
