/** @addtogroup Preferences Preferences
The API in this file is used to read and store preferences used
by gnucash. This api is a generic one. To actually store and
load preferences, a preferences backend should be configured.
Currently only one backend is defined: the preferences backend.
Note that preferences are organized in groups. Most functions
will require both a group and a preference name to find the
exact preference to work with.
