  /**
     A prefix which gets internally applied to all fossil.storage
     property keys so that localStorage and sessionStorage across the
     same browser profile instance do not "leak" across multiple repos
     being hosted by the same origin server. Such polination is still
     there but, with this key prefix applied, it won't be immediately
     visible via the storage API.

     With this in place we can justify using localStorage instead of
     sessionStorage again.

     One implication, it was discovered after the release of 2.12, of
     using localStorage and sessionStorage, is that their scope (the
     same "origin" and client application/profile) allows multiple
     repos on the same origin to use the same storage. Thus a user
     editing a wiki in /repoA/wikiedit could then see those edits in
     /repoB/wikiedit. The data do not cross user- or browser
     boundaries, though, so it "might" arguably be called a bug. Even
     so, it was never intended for that to happen. Rather than lose
     localStorage access altogether, storageKeyPrefix was added so
     that we can sandbox that state for the various repos.

     See: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/4afc4d34de

     Sidebar: it might seem odd to provide a key prefix and stick all
     properties in the topmost level of the storage object. We do that
     because adding a layer of object to sandbox each repo would mean
     (de)serializing that whole tree on every storage property change
     (and we update storage often during editing
     sessions). e.g. instead of storageObject.projectName.foo we have
     storageObject[storageKeyPrefix+'foo']. That's soley for
     efficiency's sake (in terms of battery life and
     environment-internal storage-level effort). Even so, it might
     (or might not) be useful to do that someday.
