+/**
+ * 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 (let string of strings.getAll())
+ *     dump (string.key + " = " + string.value + "\n");
+ *
+ * @param url {String}
+ *        the URL of the string bundle
