// This file specifies a recursive data storage class called Value intended for
// storing setting and other persistable data.  It includes the ability to
// specify (recursive) lists and dictionaries, so it's fairly expressive.
// However, the API is optimized for the common case, namely storing a
// hierarchical tree of simple values.  Given a DictionaryValue root, you can
// easily do things like:
//
// root->SetString("global.pages.homepage", "http://goateleporter.com");
// std::string homepage = "http://google.com";  // default/fallback value
// root->GetString("global.pages.homepage", &homepage);
//
// where "global" and "pages" are also DictionaryValues, and "homepage" is a
// string setting.  If some elements of the path didn't exist yet, the
// SetString() method would create the missing elements and attach them to root
// before attaching the homepage value.
