// This is the reference client-side implementation of µBlock's messaging
// infrastructure. The "server"-side implementation is in messaging.js.
// The client-side implementation creates a port in order to connect to
// µBlock's background page. With this port we can "ask", "tell" or "announce":
//
// "ask": send a request and expect an answer using a callback.
// "tell": send a request with no expectation of an answer.
// "announce": send a request to be relayed to all connections -- no answer
// expected.
//
// The tricky part in this implementation is to ensure all the requests are
// uniquely identified, so that the background-page can keep track of these
// until it is ready to send back an answer, which will be tagged with the
// same id. The uniqueness must be true for all ports which connect to the
// background page at any given time.
//
// Currently using Math.random() to generate this id... I don't know about the
// implementation of Math.random(), but as long as I have a good expectation
// of uniqueness, it's ok, we are not dealing with critical stuff here.
