+/**
+ * Helper interface for allowing scripts to treat nsIArray instances as if
+ * they were nsISupportsArray instances while iterating.
+ *
+ * nsISupportsArray is convenient to iterate over in JavaScript:
+ *
+ * for (let i = 0; i < array.Count(); ++i) {
+ *   let elem = array.GetElementAt(i);
+ *   ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * but doing the same with nsIArray is somewhat less convenient, since
+ * queryElementAt is not nearly so nice to use from JavaScript.  So we provide
+ * this extension interface so interfaces that currently return
+ * nsISupportsArray can start returning nsIArrayExtensions and all JavaScript
+ * should Just Work. Eventually we'll roll this interface into nsIArray
+ * itself, possibly getting rid of the Count() method, as it duplicates
+ * nsIArray functionality.
