     JavaScript still sucks.
     No module available in WebExtension at the moment! :(
     No require, no import/export.
+
+    In Worker, we have importScripts() which imports everything in this scope.
 
     In order to use the same base of code with XUL-addon for Thunderbird and SDK-addon for Firefox,
     all modules have been “objectified”. And while they are still imported via “require”
     in the previous extensions, they are loaded as background scripts in WebExtension sharing
     the same memory space (it seems)…
