* An nsIMemoryReporter reports a single memory measurement as an object.
* Use this when it makes sense to gather this measurement without gathering
* related measurements at the same time.
*
* Note that the |amount| field may be implemented as a function, and so
* accessing it can trigger significant computation; the other fields can
* be accessed without triggering this computation. (Compare and contrast
* this with nsIMemoryMultiReporter.)
*
* aboutMemory.js is the most important consumer of memory reports. It
* places the following constraints on reports.
*
* - There must be an "explicit" tree. It represents non-overlapping
* regions of memory that have been explicitly allocated with an
* OS-level allocation (e.g. mmap/VirtualAlloc/vm_allocate) or a
* heap-level allocation (e.g. malloc/calloc/operator new). Reporters
* in this tree must have kind HEAP or NONHEAP, units BYTES, and a
* description that is a sentence (i.e. starts with a capital letter and
* ends with a period, or similar).
*
* - The "size", "rss", "pss" and "swap" trees are optional. They
* represent regions of virtual memory that the process has mapped.
* Reporters in this category must have kind NONHEAP, units BYTES, and a
* non-empty description.
*
* - The "compartments" and "ghost-windows" trees are optional. They are
* used by about:compartments. Reporters in these trees must have kind
* OTHER, units COUNT, an amount of 1, and a description that's an empty
* string.
*
* - All other reports are unconstrained except that they must have a
* description that is a sentence.
