// So there might be memory leaks related to the direct use of sendMessage(),
// as per https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=320723. The issue
// is not marked as resolved, and the last message from chromium dev is:
//
// "You can construct Port objects (runtime.connect) and emulate sendMessage
// "behaviour. The bug is that sendMessage doesn't clean up its Ports."
//
// So the point here is to have an infrastructure which allows relying more on
// direct use of Port objects rather than going through sendMessage().

// For instance, it needs to be cut & pasted for content scripts since
// I can not include in a simple way js file content from another js file.
