// A "tab contents" is a WebContents that is used as a tab in a browser window
// (or the equivalent on Android). The TabHelpers class allows specific classes
// to attach the set of tab helpers that is used for tab contents.
//
// TODO(avi): This list is rather large, and for most callers it's due to the
// fact that they need tab helpers attached early to deal with arbitrary
// content loaded into a WebContents that will later be added to the tabstrip.
// Is there a better way to handle this? (Ideally, this list would contain
// only Browser and BrowserTabStripModelDelegate.)
