+a corresponding property is automatically added on the ECMAScript global object by the bindings generator.
+
+The `[GlobalContext=WindowOnly|WorkerOnly|WindowAndWorker]` is a WebKit-specific extended attribute that may only be used on interfaces that do not have the `[NoInterfaceObject]` attribute. Three values are allowed for this attribute:
+* `WindowOnly`: A corresponding attribute (global constructor) will be automatically added on the `Window` interface (default if the extended attribute is omitted).
+* `WorkerOnly`: A corresponding attribute (global constructor) will be automatically added on the `WorkerContext` interface.
+* `WindowAndWorker`: A corresponding attribute (global constructor) will be automatically added on both the `Window` and the `WorkerContext` interfaces.
+
+Usage: `[NoInterfaceObject]` and `[GlobalContext]` can be specified on interfaces, but not at the same time.
