We mostly use the regular == and != comparison operators over their
type-safe === and !== counterparts. This is about to change, but there
are some places where we don't care whether a value is null, undefined
or 0; just check for falsiness there instead of using operators, so
we can start to consistently use the type-safe operators everywhere
else in a follow-up commit.

As arrow functions have an implicit return value, an assignment of
this.foo = bar could have been intended as a this.foo === bar
comparison. To catch those errors, we will disallow these kinds
of assignments unless they are marked explicitly by an extra pair
of parentheses.

Array destructuring has been supported by gjs/mozjs for quite some time,
so we are already using it heavily where it makes sense.
However one place still sneaked through where using destructuring makes
sense, as the element's position has semantic meaning (instead of just
making it the first, second, ... element).

ES6 allows to omit property names where they match the name of the
assigned variable, which makes code less redundant and thus cleaner.
We will soon enforce that in our eslint rules, so make sure we use
the shorthand wherever possible.

eslint has a rule to prohibit unnecessary parentheses. While this is
generally a good idea stylistically, the parentheses in a calculation
of (a / b) * c add more clarity, as a / b * c lacks the unambiguity of
proper math notation:
a a
--- * c vs -------
b b * c
We can still follow the style rule by rearranging to the unambiguous
c * a / b.

Invoking functions via Function.prototype.apply() and .call() is
less performant than a regular function call, and makes code harder
to read.
Before ES6 there was no other way of writing a function with variadic
arguments, but since we now have the spread operator, we can use that
as the better alternative.

This code has been commented out since it was added, presumably due to
difficulty in avoiding a cycle of reloading rows on settings changes
and writing settings on row changes.
Considering that the setting changing while the preference dialog is
up is extremely unlikely, don't bother with making it work and just
remove the dead code.
