+   * Fill a handler info object with information from the datastore.
+   *
+   * Note: because of the way the external helper app service currently mixes
+   * OS and user handler info in the same handler info object, this method
+   * takes an existing handler info object (probably retrieved from the OS)
+   * and "fills it in" with information from the datastore, overriding any
+   * existing properties on the object with properties from the datastore.
+   *
+   * Ultimately, however, we're going to separate OS and user handler info
+   * into separate objects, at which point this method should be renamed to
+   * something like "get" or "retrieve", take a class and type (or perhaps
+   * a type whose class can be determined by querying the type, for example
+   * an nsIContentType which is also an nsIMIMEType or an nsIProtocolScheme),
+   * and return a handler info object representing only the user info.
+   *
+   * Note: if you specify an override type, then the service will fill in
+   * the handler info object with information about that type instead of
+   * the type specified by the object's nsIHandlerInfo::type attribute.
+   *
+   * This is useful when you are trying to retrieve information about a MIME
+   * type that doesn't exist in the datastore, but you have a file extension
+   * for that type, and nsIHandlerService::getTypeFromExtension returns another
+   * MIME type that does exist in the datastore and can handle that extension.
+   *
+   * For example, the user clicks on a link, and the content has a MIME type
+   * that isn't in the datastore, but the link has a file extension, and that
+   * extension is associated with another MIME type in the datastore (perhaps
+   * an unofficial MIME type preceded an official one, like with image/x-png
+   * and image/png).
+   *
+   * In that situation, you can call this method to fill in the handler info
+   * object with information about that other type by passing the other type
+   * as the aOverrideType parameter.
+   *
+   * @param aHandlerInfo   the handler info object
+   * @param aOverrideType  a type to use instead of aHandlerInfo::type
+   *
+   * Note: if there is no information in the datastore about this type,
+   * this method throws NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Callers are encouraged to
+   * check exists() before calling fillHandlerInfo(), to prevent spamming the
+   * console with XPCOM exception errors.
