//
// XXX on most sites, hitting the back button takes you back to a snapshot of
// the previous DOM tree, e.g. navigating away from a page on Hacker News
// highlighted via Hacker News Highlighter [1], then back to the highlighted
// page, retains the DOM changes (the highlighting). that isn't the case on
// GitHub, which triggers network requests and fragment/page reloads when
// navigating (back) to any (SPA) page, even when not logged in. this means, for
// example, we don't need to check if the first-commit widget already exists (it
// never does), and don't need to restore its old label when navigating away
// from a page (since the widget will always be created from scratch rather than
// reused)
//
// this has not always been the case, and may not be the case in the future (and
// may not be the case in some scenarios I haven't tested, e.g. on mobile), so
// rather than taking it for granted, we assume the site behaves like every
// other site in this respect and code to that (defensive coding). this costs
// nothing (apart from this explanation) and saves us having to scramble for a
// fix if the implementation changes.
