/**
 * A string bundle.
 *
 * This object presents two APIs: a deprecated one that is equivalent to the API
 * for the stringbundle XBL binding, to make it easy to switch from that binding
 * to this module, and a new one that is simpler and easier to use.
 *
 * The benefit of this module over the XBL binding is that it can also be used
 * in JavaScript modules and components, not only in chrome JS.
 *
 * To use this module, import it, create a new instance of StringBundle,
 * and then use the instance's |get| and |getAll| methods to retrieve strings
 * (you can get both plain and formatted strings with |get|):
 *
 *   let strings =
 *     new StringBundle("chrome://example/locale/strings.properties");
 *   let foo = strings.get("foo");
 *   let barFormatted = strings.get("bar", [arg1, arg2]);
 *   for each (let string in strings.getAll())
 *     dump (string.key + " = " + string.value + "\n");
 *
 * @param url {String}
 *        the URL of the string bundle
