/**
* This interface allows Firefox to expose different implementations of its own
* classes to add-ons. Once an interposition is created, it must be assigned to
* an add-on using Cu.setAddonInterposition (JS) or xpc::SetAddonInterposition
* (C++). In both cases, the arguments should be the add-on ID and the
* interposition object (which must be an nsIAddonInterposition). This must
* happen before any compartments are created for the given add-on.
*
* Every time the add-on accesses a property on any object outside its own set
* of compartments, XPConnect will call the interposition's
* interpose method. If the interposition wants to replace the given
* property, it should return a replacement property descriptor for it. If not,
* it should return null.
