Moving the comment here seems unrelated.

Whoops, well spotted. Done.

[Sebastian Noack, 2017/01/18 11:24:27]

Is require("utils") even necessary? Couldn't we just access Utils directly?

[kzar, 2017/01/18 11:46:37]

Yes I can't see why not, Done.

           // Select one of the items randomly, probability should be the same
           // for all items. So we replace the previous match here with
           // probability 1/N (N being the number of matches).

[Sebastian Noack, 2017/01/18 11:24:28]

In this case, perhaps just inline it:

  let docLink = require('prefs').Prefs.documentation_link;

[kzar, 2017/01/18 11:46:38]

Done.
