Hi Ben

It's a pragma for configuring JSHint and compatible code checking tools. It
tells JSHint not to treat $tw as an undefined variable (it is defined in
all TiddlyWiki code modules courtesy of the module loader in boot.js). See
the "Directives" section here:

http://jshint.com/docs/

At a quick glance, I notice that the docs have "globals" instead of
"global"; I believe that TW5 is using an older but still supported keyword.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
