> I'm also wondering if we should move createKeyCodes() into a global
static object with its own constructor (which should run at program
initialization).

Maybe don't listen to me wrt static constructors. Apparently ancient
compiler bugs with static constructors used to be a thing (though I'm
pretty sure Firefox won't compile with a C++ compiler older than like 5
years anyway). I'm still a bit worried about the potential initialization
race here, though. I wonder if anyone at Mozilla might make any
suggestions?
