+ * Given an list of available files and a script path to match, this function

+ * disregarding the full path to the script. This can be useful because repo
+ * file paths (that the UI has) may not necessarily be suffixes of the absolute 
+ * paths of the deployed files. This happens when the user deploys a
+ * subdirectory of the repo.
+ *
+ * For example consider a file named `a/b.js` in the repo. If the
+ * directory contents of `a` are deployed rather than the whole repo, we are not
+ * going to have any file named `a/b.js` in the running Node process.
+ *
+ * We incrementally consider more components of the path until we find a unique
+ * match, or return all the potential matches.
+ *
+ * @example findScriptsFuzzy('a/b.js', ['/d/b.js']) // -> ['/d/b.js']
+ * @example findScriptsFuzzy('a/b.js', ['/c/b.js', '/d/b.js']); // -> []
+ * @example findScriptsFuzzy('a/b.js', ['/x/a/b.js', '/y/a/b.js'])
+ *                 // -> ['x/a/b.js', 'y/a/b.js']
+ *
+ * @param {string} scriptPath partial path to the script.
+ * @param {array<string>} fileList an array of absolute paths of filenames
+ *     available.
