// ## 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.

// directly delegate to.
