We're going to get backlash if we don't communicate this well. I'm used
to making sure I'm plugged in if I have a long-running task to prevent
suspend. I don't think it's a big deal to adjust behavior* but we'll
definitely garner some annoyed and surprised users unhappy about
learing this the hard way if we're not careful.

extension which can toggle between normal, inhibit suspend, and inhibit
screen off
