I was reading a test where an id is used like this and I was unable to figure out if the imported test harness does some magic
apparently it happens by default…

@niyabits@hachyderm.io It's called the window named getter: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/nav-history-apis.html#named-access-on-the-window-object . Servo didn't support it for a long time and the implementation history was fraught: https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/29396 . I kind of hate that I've fallen into using it now, but it's very convenient for short HTML/JS snippets.
