  MacOSXPreferencesFile synchronization:

  Everything is synchronized on MacOSXPreferencesFile.class. This prevents:
  * simultaneous updates to cachedFiles or changedFiles
  * simultaneous creation of two objects for the same name+user+host triplet
  * simultaneous modifications to the same file
  * modifications during syncWorld/flushWorld
  * (in MacOSXPreferences.removeNodeSpi()) modification or sync during
    multi-step node removal process
  ... among other things.
*/
/*
  Timers. There are two timers that control synchronization of prefs data to
  and from disk.

  * Sync timer periodically calls syncWorld() to force external disk changes
      (e.g. from another VM) into the memory cache. The sync timer runs even
      if there are no outstanding local changes. The sync timer syncs all live
      MacOSXPreferencesFile objects (the cachedFiles list).
    The sync timer period is controlled by the java.util.prefs.syncInterval
      property (same as FileSystemPreferences). By default there is *no*
      sync timer (unlike FileSystemPreferences); it is only enabled if the
      syncInterval property is set. The minimum interval is 5 seconds.

  * Flush timer calls flushWorld() to force local changes to disk.
      The flush timer is scheduled to fire some time after each pref change,
      unless it's already scheduled to fire before that. syncWorld and
      flushWorld will cancel any outstanding flush timer as unnecessary.
      The flush timer flushes all changed files (the changedFiles list).
    The time between pref write and flush timer call is controlled by the
      java.util.prefs.flushDelay property (unlike FileSystemPreferences).
      The default is 60 seconds and the minimum is 5 seconds.

  The flush timer's behavior is required by the Java Preferences spec
  ("changes will eventually propagate to the persistent backing store with
  an implementation-dependent delay"). The sync timer is not required by
  the spec (multiple VMs are only required to not corrupt the prefs), but
  the periodic sync is implemented by FileSystemPreferences and may be
  useful to some programs. The sync timer is disabled by default because
  it's expensive and is usually not necessary.
