*
* Prefs is a special widget inside Elementary. It is mainly targeted
* to configuration dialogs. Its viewport is blank until you associate
* a definition file to it. That file (usually with @b .epb
* extension), is a binary format (Eet) one, coming from a
* human-readable textual declaration. This textual form, an
* <b>Elementary prefs collection</b> (usually with @b .epc
* extension), is translated to the binary form by means of the
* @b prefs_cc compiler.
*
* On it one declares UI elements to populate prefs widgets, which are
* contained in @b pages (a prefs widget is always bound to one page).
* Those elements get properties like:
* - default value,
* - maximum and minimum ranges,
* - acceptance and denial regular expressions, for strings,
* - visibility,
* - persistence,
* - editability, etc.
*
* Once a prefs widget is created, after elm_prefs_file_set() is
* issued on it, all of its UI elements will get default values,
* declared on that file. To fetch a user's own, personal set of
* those values, one gets to pair an <b>@ref elm-prefs-data</b> handle
* to the prefs widget.
*
* Personal, prefs data values with keys matching the ones present on
* the file passed on elm_prefs_file_set() to will have their values
* applied to the respective UI elements of the widget.
*
* When a prefs widget dies, the values of the elements declared on
* its @b .epb file marked as permanent <b>will be written back</b> to
* the user prefs data handle, if it is writable. One is also able to
* make this writing event to take place automatically after each UI
* element modification by using elm_prefs_autosave_set().
*
* This widget emits the following signals:
* - @c "page,saved": a given page has had its values saved back on
* user config file (event info is the page's
* name)
* - @c "page,reset": a given page has had its values reset (event
* info is the page's name)
* - @c "page,changed": a given page has been loaded <b>with user
* (@c .cfg) values</b> (event info is the page's name)
* - @c "page,loaded": a given page has been loaded <b>with system
* (@c .epb) values</b> (event info is the page's name)
* - @c "item,changed": a given page's item has changed (event info is
* the item's full hierarchical name, in the form
* @c "page:subpage:subsubpage:item")
* - @c "action": an action item has been triggered (event info is the
* item's full hierarchical name, in the form @c
* "page:subpage:subsubpage:item")
*
* @li @ref epcref

* The following are examples on how to use prefs:
