/**
* Interfaces for overriding the built-in drag, drop, copy, and paste
* implementations in the content area and editors. Use this to do things
* such as prevent a drag from starting, adding or removing
* data and flavors, or preventing the drop.
*
* Embedders who want to have these hooks made available should implement
* nsIClipboardDragDropHooks and use the command manager to send the
* appropriate commands with these parameters/settings:
* command: cmd_clipboardDragDropHook
*
* params value type possible values
* "addhook" isupports nsIClipboardDragDropHooks as nsISupports
* "removehook" isupports nsIClipboardDragDropHooks as nsISupports
*
* Notes:
* * Overrides/hooks need to be added to each window (as appropriate).
* Adding them to the first window does not enable them for every window.
* * If more than one implementation is set for a window, the hooks will be
* called in the order they are added.
* * Adding the same hook to the same window will not add a second call.
* Each hook can only be called once per user action/api.
* * Not all hooks are guaranteed to be called. If there are multiple hooks
* set for a window, any of them has an opportunity to cancel the action
* so no further processing will occur.
* * If any errors occur (without setting the boolean result) the default
* action will occur.
* * AllowDrop will be called MANY times during drag so ensure that it is
* efficient.
