I have made the changes. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks, I am planning to add hyper-link as a the comment. Like this:
# https://github.com/firefox-devtools/profiler/blob/53970305b51b9b472e26d7457fee1d66cd4e2737/src/types/gecko-profile.js#L216
However it is going to exceed 100 characters limit. If I wrap it
around, it will look ugly. Any suggestions?

Noted. I will change it.

I am using more descriptive names now. I have also added a comment like
this to the function:
"""Gets a matching stack, or saves the new stack. Returns a Stack ID."""
Will be reflected in v4.

I have made the changes. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am trying to find if I can use cpu_mode instead of this as suggested by
Namhyung. If not, I will add a helper function in the later version.

Okay, this variable comes from Gecko format, now adding link might
make it understandable.

Noted.
