+import-content-task-globals
+===========================
+
+For files containing ContentTask.spawn calls, this will automatically declare
+the frame script variables in the global scope. ContentTask is only available
+to test files, so by default the configs only specify it for the mochitest based
+configurations.
+
+This saves setting the file as a mozilla/frame-script environment.
+
+Note: due to the way ESLint works, it appears it is only easy to declare these
+variables on a file global scope, rather than function global. This may mean that
+they are incorrectly allowed, but given they are test files, this should be
+detected during testing.
