Where `x` is the minimal text length of the subject
DOM element. DOM elements whose text length is
greater than or equal to `x` will be selected.
The original rationale for such procedural cosmetic
operator[1] is to be able to remove inline script
elements according to a minimum text length using
HTML filtering.
[1] As a result of internal discussion with filter
list maintainers @ uAssets.
Regression from:

Repro steps were:
- Open the logger
- Navigate to `https://news.ycombinator.com/`
- Select an element using the element picker
- Click "Preview"
An attribute selector used internally by uBO to
hide targeted nodes was being reported in the
logger.
- Remove HNTrieContainer class from global context by
storing it as a property of µBlock.
- Use block scope to isolate HNTrie-related constants
from global context.
- Prevent filters which are pure IP address from
being stored in an HNTrie instance -- as this
could cause false positives.
The bidirectional trie allows storing the right
and left parts of a string into a trie given a
pivot position.

Additionally, the mandatory token-at-index-0 rule
for FilterPlainHnAnchored has been lifted, thus
allowing the engine to pick a potentially better token
at any position in the filter string.

TODO: Eventually rename `strie.js` to `biditrie.js`.
TODO: Fix dump() method, it currently only show the
right-hand side of a filter string.

The service worker-related issue affects both
Chromium/Firefox: the type of resources fetched
from a service worker are uniformly set to
`xmlhttprequest`, hence losing a key piece of
information for the purpose of accurate content
filtering.

Additionally, I added a link to the logger in the
"About" pane in the dashboard in order to be able
to access the logger without having to go through
the popup panel.

The current implementation reports statistics for all
static filters, and the presentation/featureset is
intentionally minimal: *Do not open issues about this.*
It's still a work in progress and it will be worked on
slowly and thoughtfully over time and as time allows.
Pausing the logger will not pause the collation of
filter hit statistics, thus it is possible to lower
the logger overhead by pausing logger output without
losing filter hit collation.
