favorite_outfits	What outfit typepaths we've favorited in the SelectEquipment menu
game_savefile	The savefile relating to core preferences, PREFERENCE_PLAYER
hearted	Someone thought we were nice! We get a little heart in OOC until we join the server past the below time (we can keep it until the end of the round otherwise)
hearted_until	If we have a hearted commendations, we honor it every time the player loads preferences until this time has been passed
key_bindings	Custom keybindings. Map of keybind names to keyboard inputs. For example, by default would have "swap_hands" -> list("X")
key_bindings_by_key	Cached list of keybindings, mapping keys to actions. For example, by default would have "X" -> list("swap_hands")
middleware	A list of instantiated middleware
persistent_scars	If we have persistent scars enabled
recently_updated_keys	A list of keys that have been updated since the last save.
tainted_character_profiles	If set to TRUE, will update character_profiles on the next ui_data tick.
value_cache	A cache of preference entries to values. Used to avoid expensive READ_FILE every time a preference is retrieved.
Procs
apply_all_client_preferences	Applies all PREFERENCE_PLAYER preferences
apply_character_randomization_prefs	Randomizes the character according to preferences.
apply_prefs_to	Applies the given preferences to a human mob.
check_keybindings	checks through keybindings for outdated unbound keys and updates them
get_default_randomization	Returns the default `randomise` variable ouptut
get_highest_priority_job	Returns what job is marked as highest
get_key_bindings_by_key	Inverts the key_bindings list such that it can be used for key_bindings_by_key
get_savefile_for_savefile_identifier	Returns which savefile to use for a given savefile identifier
hardcore_random_setup	Setup the random hardcore quirks and give the character the new score prize.
migrate_body_types	Previously, body types could only be used on non-binary characters. PR #62733 changed this to allow all characters to use body type. This migration moves binary-gendered characters over to the "use gender" body type so that old characters are preserved.
migrate_character_to_tgui_prefs_menu	Handle the migrations necessary from pre-tgui prefs to post-tgui prefs, for characters
migrate_preferences_to_tgui_prefs_menu	Handle the migrations necessary from pre-tgui prefs to post-tgui prefs
randomise_appearance_prefs	Fully randomizes everything in the character.
read_preference	Read a /datum/preference type and return its value. This will write to the savefile if a value was not found with the new value.
safe_transfer_prefs_to	Sanitizes the preferences, applies the randomization prefs, and then applies the preference to the human mob.
select_hardcore_quirks	Goes through all quirks that can be used in hardcore mode and select some based on a random budget. Returns the new value to be gained with this setup, plus the previously earned score.
should_be_random_hardcore	Returns whether the parent mob should have the random hardcore settings enabled. Assumes it has a mind.
should_randomize	Returns if a preference should be randomized.
update_preference	Will perform an update on the preference, but not write to the savefile. This will, for instance, update the character preference view. Performs sanity checks.
write_preference	Set a /datum/preference entry. Returns TRUE for a successful preference application. Returns FALSE if it is invalid.
