+// That format is an implementation detail of V8, but we cannot invoke V8 in |
+// the browser process. Rather than IPC over to the renderer process to execute |
+// the V8 serialization code, we duplicate some of the serialization logic |
+// (just for simple string messages) here. This is a trade-off between overall |
+// complexity / performance and code duplication. Fortunately, we only need to |
+// handle string messages and this serialization format is static, as it is a |
+// format we currently persist to disk via IndexedDB. |
