Code style : unneeded comma

See original GitHub issue

At the end of many arrays and objets there are comma like in this example :

bot.client.write('close_window', {
      windowId: window.id,
    });

Is there a reason for this ?

New properties and elements can be added on subsequent lines without changing the prior line to add a comma (= cleaner diff)

So, indeed WebStorms 10 allows to not error on these trailing comma. I guess it doesn’t matter that much.
