286 implementation. [76201]
288 * Added boolean return types to a number of IDL methods whose
289 corresponding cspi wrappers and ATK methods already had boolean
292 * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should;
293 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
301 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
304 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
306 need getBaseAttributes ()
307 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
309 table: getVisibleRange
311 state: HEADER, etc. for spreadsheet cells
