/**
* All three Format attributes are templates, which work as follows:
*
* Required LDAP attributes are delimited by curly braces, and
* optional LDAP attributes are determined by brackets. Backslash
* escapes any character, including itself. Someday perhaps we'll rev
* this interface and change these to a more flexible format; perhaps
* something regexp based.
*
* If any of these are unset, components implementing this interface
* are free to choose reasonable defaults. As an example, the
*"@mozilla.org/ldap-autocomplete-formatter;1?type=addrbook"
* implementation currently happens to use the following default
* strings:
*
* nameFormat: "[cn]"
* addressFormat: "{mail}"
* commentFormat: ""
*
* and generates autocomplete items like this:
*
* value: John Doe <john.doe@foo.org>
* comment: Foo Organization
*
* Note that nsILDAPAutoCompFormatter::getAttributes() is only
* required to be called by the nsILDAPAutoCompleteSession
* implementation when the nsILDAPAutoCompleteSession::formatter
* IDL attribute is set. So if for some reason the format
* attributes exposed through this interface get changed (eg a
* user changes their prefs), it is the changing code's
* responsibly to re-set the nsILDAPAutoCompleteSession::formatter
* IDL attribute to the same object to force a new getAttributes()
* call.
