Why do we specify “org.webkit.ImageDecoder” if only the “ImageDecoder” part is
ever going to be used?
Is that because Windows could use “org.webkit.”?
Again, back to Darin’s point, I don’t see any particular value in ever seeing
“org.webkit.”
Additionally, the way this proposal treats “ImageDecoder” as multiple words,
presumably separated on case-change, is problematic.
e.g. “IndexedDatabaseServer” would expand to “Indexed Database Server”,
different from today.
e.g. “IndexedDBServer”, which is probably what this should be called, would
expand to “Indexed D B Server"
e.g. “GCController” would expand to “G C Controller”

Taking your proposal and running with it, I think we could do this:
1 - Specify the feature name with spaces: “Asynchronous Disassembler”
2 - On Linux, it gets collapsed and truncated to 15: “AsynchronousDis”
2a - It could get truncated with ellipses: “AsynchronousDi…"
3 - On Windows, it gets “WebKit: “ added and is truncated to 30: “WebKit:
Asynchronous Disassemb”
3a - It could get truncated with ellipses: “WebKit: Asynchronous Disassem…”
4 - On macOS/iOS, it gets “WebKit: “ added: “WebKit: Asynchronous Disassembler"
Addendum: If we see value in having somethings flagged as “JSC” instead of
“WebKit”, we just augment the input to include that.
The above could be “JSC.Asynchronous Disassembler”, and a WebKit specific
feature could be “WebKit. IndexedDB Server”
