I've removed `Preferences.getPaint(String)` because I can't see this particular typed getter being useful in the foreseeable future. No platform reports non-`Color` paints, and I don't expect this to change. Even if it did, we have the `Preferences.getValue(String, Class)` getter to retrieve exotic values.
