+//! ## A Note About `camelCase`, `snake_case`, and Naming Conventions
+//!
+//! JavaScript's global objects use `camelCase` naming conventions for functions
+//! and methods, but Rust style is to use `snake_case`. These bindings expose
+//! the Rust style `snake_case` name. Additionally, acronyms within a method
+//! name are all lower case, where as in JavaScript they are all upper case. For
+//! example, `decodeURI` in JavaScript is exposed as `decode_uri` in these
+//! bindings.

+// When adding new imports:
+//
+// * Keep imports in alphabetical order.
+//
+// * Rename imports with `js_name = ...` according to the note about `camelCase`
+// and `snake_case` in the module's documentation above.
+//
+// * Include the one sentence summary of the import from the MDN link in the
+// module's documentation above, and the MDN link itself.
+//
+// * If a function or method can throw an exception, make it catchable by adding
+// `#[wasm_bindgen(catch)]`.
+//
+// * Add a new `#[test]` to the `tests/all/js_globals.rs` file. If the imported
+// function or method can throw an exception, make sure to also add test
+// coverage for that case.
