Provides support for accessing platform configuration data.

## Package Specification

This package contains interfaces for accessing and manipulating the local system installation and configuration information.

Note: This package is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
