 EnumerateChildren

 Call back function "callback" with every preference string
 having prefix "parent". Pass "data" to "callback" when calling.
 
 @param parent A string representation of a prefix of preferences
 @param callback A function to call back for each matching preference
 @param data A piece of data to pass on to the callback
