--- Sadly this means we have to declare the pinned classes twice, unless we want
--- to search for the launcher function sequentially :(
--- TODO (low priority): find a better way to initialize pinned items in order
--- to get rid of this redundancy
+-- In order not to have to declare the required information of our pinned apps
+-- in two different tables (an indexed table and an associative table) we
+-- declare them once in `dock_pinned_apps` and then programmatically create two
+-- helper tables: `dock_pinned_classes` and `dock_pinned_launchers`.
+-- > The indexed table `dock_pinned_classes` determines which app icons should

+-- > The associative table `dock_pinned_launchers` determines the function that
+--   should run when clicking the dock item of a class when there is no such
+--   window open.
