Thank you very much for the great links. I think this explains many of
the warnings around exporting from modules, etc.

But I don't get why the warning about testing equality of undefined
variables, which is done all over the shell, is present? Does this need
to actually log a warning? It seems perfectly valid to me.

JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/search.js 636]: reference to
undefined property "searchInProgress"
JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/modalDialog.js 218]:
reference to undefined property "GdkX11Screen"


Thanks again!
