+// A unique identifier for an extension port. The id is composed of three parts:
+// - context_id: A GUID that uniquely identifies the creation context of the
+//               port.
+// - port_number: A simple identifer that uniquely identifies the port *within
+//                the creation context*. That is, each creation context may
+//                have a port with number '1', but there should only be a single
+//                port with the number '1' in each.
+// - is_opener: Whether or not this port id is for the opener port (false
+//              indicating it is the receiver port).
+// A few more notes:
+// - There should only be a single existent opener port. That is, in all the
+//   contexts, there should only be one with a given context_id, port_number,
+//   and is_opener set to true. However, each port can have multiple receivers,
+//   thus there may be multiple ports with a given context_id, port_number, and
+//   is_opener set to false.
+// - The context_id and port_number refer to the values at *creation*, and are
+//   conceptually immutable. Receiver ports will always have a context id other
+//   than the one they are hosted in (since we don't dispatch messages to the
+//   same context). Only in the case of opener ports do these identify the
+//   current context.
+// - Context id and port number are set in the renderer process. Theoretically,
+//   this means that multiple contexts could have the same id. However, GUIDs
+//   are sufficiently random as to be globally unique in practice (the chance
+//   of a duplicate is about the same as the sun exploding right now).
