How can a Safari extension know if Private Browsing mode is on?

I'm writing a Safari extension and want it to behave differently when the user turns on Private Browsing mode (I want to respect this private mode).

I found no mention of this in Apple's docs.

I'm aware of the discussion in this thread:

Detecting if a browser is using Private Browsing mode

which suggests using a (browser-agnostic) js-CSS trick to detect private-browsing mode, but was hoping there's some hook built in to Safari that I could use for my extension.

Any ideas?
