+// ## Implementation Notes ##
+//
+// Making `XMLHttpRequest` objects available to Jetpack code involves a
+// few key principles universal to all low-level module implementations:
+//
+// * **Unloadability**. A Jetpack-based extension using this module can be
+// asked to unload itself at any time, e.g. because the user decides to
+// uninstall or disable the extension. This means we need to keep track of
+// all in-progress reqests and abort them on unload.
+//
+// * **Developer-Ergonomic Tracebacks**. Whenever an exception is raised
+// by a Jetpack-based extension, we want it to be logged in a
+// place that is specific to that extension--so that a developer
+// can distinguish it from an error on a web page or in another
+// extension, for instance. We also want it to be logged with a
+// full stack traceback, which the Mozilla platform doesn't usually
+// do.
+//
+// Because of this, we don't actually want to give the Mozilla
+// platform's "real" XHR implementation to clients, but instead provide
+// a simple wrapper that trivially delegates to the implementation in
+// all cases except where callbacks are involved: whenever Mozilla
+// platform code calls into the extension, such as during the XHR's
+// `onreadystatechange` callback, we want to wrap the client's callback
+// in a try-catch clause that traps any exceptions raised by the
+// callback and logs them via console.exception() instead of allowing
+// them to propagate back into Mozilla platform code.
+
+// This is a private list of all active requests, so we know what to
+// abort if we're asked to unload.
+var requests = [];
+
+// Events on XHRs that we should listen for, so we know when to remove
+// a request from our private list.
