This userscript provides a stylesheet that makes the whole page into white
text on black.  Depending on the Blacken_immediately setting, that stylesheet
is either applied immediately, or (the default) is simply made
available as an option you can choose under the browser's "View"
menu's "Page Style" submenu.

This userscript has two purposes:

* Some web sites, usually thru some inept coding, make some or all of
 their text quite unreadable because of poor combinations of text
 color and background color (or background image).

* More people than you think are "low vision" users -- i.e., they
 aren't blind, but they have poor eyesight.  Making text white-on-black
 generally makes it much more readable to such readers.
