    - #### getParameterSettings

          NameValuePair[] getParameterSettings()

      Gets the settings for configuration parameters that are not in any group.
      Returns:
        an array of `NameValuePair` objects, each of which contains a parameter name and the value of that parameter

    - #### setParameterSettings

          void setParameterSettings(NameValuePair[] aSettings)

      Sets the settings for configuration parameters that are not in any group.
      Parameters:
        `aSettings` - an array of `NameValuePair` objects, each of which contains a parameter name and the value of that parameter

    - #### getSettingsForGroups

          Map<String,NameValuePair[]> getSettingsForGroups()

      Gets the settings for configuration parameters that are defined within groups.
      Returns:
        a Map with `String` keys (the group names) and `NameValuePair`[] values (the settings for parameters in that group.

    - #### getParameterValue

          Object getParameterValue(String aParamName)

      Looks up the value of a parameter. This is a "dumb" getter and does not follow any fallback strategies. It will only return the value of a parameter that is not defined in any group.
      Parameters:
        `aParamName` - the name of a parameter that is not in any group
      Returns:
        the value of the parameter with name `aParamName`

    - #### getParameterValue

          Object getParameterValue(String aGroupName,
                                   String aParamName)

      Looks up the value of a parameter in a group. This is a "dumb" getter and does not follow any fallback strategies.
      Parameters:
        `aGroupName` - the name of a configuration group. If this parameter is `null`, this method will return the same value as `getParameterValue(String)`.
        `aParamName` - the name of a parameter in the group
      Returns:
        the value of the parameter in group `aGroupName` with name `aParamName`

    - #### setParameterValue

          void setParameterValue(String aParamName,
                                 Object aValue)

      Sets the value of a parameter. This only works for a parameter that is not defined in any group.
      Parameters:
        `aParamName` - the name of a parameter that is not in any group
        `aValue` - the value to assign to the parameter

    - #### setParameterValue

          void setParameterValue(String aGroupName,
                                 String aParamName,
                                 Object aValue)

      Sets the value of a parameter in a group.
      Parameters:
        `aGroupName` - the name of a configuration group
        `aParamName` - the name of a parameter in the group
        `aValue` - the value to assign to the parameter
