+// Interface for making UniFFI scaffolding calls
+//
+// Gecko uses UniFFI to generate privileged JS bindings for Rust components.
+// UniFFI defines a C-ABI FFI layer for calling into Rust, called the
+// scaffolding. This interface is a bridge that allows the JS code to make
+// scaffolding calls
+//
+// See https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/ for details.
+
+// Define some ID types to identify various parts of the UDL interfaces. Using
+// these IDs, allow this .webidl file to remain static, but support new
+// interfaces. Using IDs is that the C++ and JS code need to agree on their
+// meaning, which is handled by
+// toolkit/components/uniffi-bindgen-gecko-js/src/ci_list.rs.
