Once upon a time, prefs files were actually JS: we created a function
"pref" and "user_pref" and then evaulated the file within the JS engine.
This was slow, and so in 2003 we changed it to use a mostly-compatible
parser that could consume the existing syntax of most pref.js files (bug
98533).
The format is now "whatever prefread.cpp accepts".
