Yeah, it's not necessarily files, but it's not necessarily Blobs (i.e.
binary data) either.

How about context.dataTypes being an array of strings, so you can go

if (arrayContains(context.dataTypes, 'files')) {
  // do something with context.files
}
if (arrayContains(context.dataTypes, 'addressBookEntries')) {
  // do something with context.addressBookEntries
}
