There is already an intentHelper c++/java that does similar things, perhaps it's
worth combining them. Up to you.

Nah, because this class will need to keep request Ids as well - it'll get some
more logic in patch 2.

Done. "namespace chrome {}" eeuw :-(

[Miguel Garcia, 2015/02/03 16:58:40]

same thing, we are not quite able to report back yet so let's keep the comments
in par with the implementation?

[Peter Beverloo, 2015/02/03 17:24:54]

Done.
