+/**
+ * This file implements helper methods to make the transition of base mailnews
+ * objects from JS to C++ easier, and also to allow creating specialized
+ * versions of those accounts using only JS XPCOM implementations.
+ *
+ * In C++ land, the XPCOM component is a generic C++ class that does nothing
+ * but delegate any calls to interfaces known in C++ to either the generic
+ * C++ implementation (such as nsMsgIncomingServer.cpp) or a JavaScript
+ * implementation of those methods. Those delegations could be used for either
+ * method-by-method replacement of the generic C++ methods with JavaScript
+ * versions, or for specialization of the generic class using JavaScript to
+ * implement a particular class type. We use a C++ class as the main XPCOM
+ * version for two related reasons: First, we do not want to go through a
+ * C++->js->C++ XPCOM transition just to execute a C++ method. Second, C++
+ * inheritance is different from JS inheritance, and sometimes the C++ code
+ * will ignore the XPCOM parts of the JS, and just execute using C++
+ * inheritance.
+ *
+ * In JavaScript land, the implementation currently uses the XPCOM object for
+ * JavaScript calls, with the last object in the prototype chain defaulting
+ * to calling using the CPP object, specified in an instance-specific
+ * this.cppBase object.
+ *
+ * Examples of use can be found in the test files for jsaccount stuff.
