/**
 * The DevToolsShim is a part of the DevTools go faster project, which moves the Firefox
 * DevTools outside of mozilla-central to an add-on. It aims to bridge the gap for
 * existing mozilla-central code that still needs to interact with DevTools (such as
 * web-extensions).
 *
 * DevToolsShim is a singleton that provides a set of helpers to interact with DevTools,
 * that work whether the DevTools addon is installed or not. It can be used to start
 * listening to events, register tools, themes. As soon as a DevTools addon is installed
 * the DevToolsShim will forward all the requests received until then to the real DevTools
 * instance.
 *
 * DevToolsShim.isInstalled() can also be used to know if DevTools are currently
 * installed.
