This is gonna be the 2nd time gnome is gonna massively break the extension I'm maintaining. I am maintaining this one because the previous maintainer said fuck it and abandoned his project after Gnome broke his extension.

Hmmm, sounds like all extensions will need to adopt the module system. I guess I'll be careful about making sure my extensions are updated before updating to Gnome 45

The more I learn about JavaScript the more horrified I become. Is this really how imports used to work? Plop a variable into the global scope?
