1 The classes in this directory are general utilities for use by any part of
2 MediaWiki. They do not favour any particular user interface and are not
3 constrained to serve any particular feature. This is similar to includes/libs,
4 except that some dependency on the MediaWiki framework (such as the use of
5 MWException, Status or wfDebug()) disqualifies them from use outside of
6 MediaWiki without modification.
8 Utilities should not use global configuration variables, rather they should rely
9 on the caller to configure their behaviour.
