So… given that one can fake create a DOMException, and unless there
is a valid reason not to allow this that I don't know of…. It would
be nice if DOMException just defined a public constructor. This would
allow clean prototyping of various APIs in ECMAScript (and give us
poor saps who don't know C a chance to implement some Web APIs :) ).
Web IDL already requires exception interface objects like DOMException
to be constructable, due to this:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-exception-call
and them being Function objects. The constructor should take a single
argument which is the message.
DOMExceptions have both a code and a message. Perhaps the constructor
should be extended to include both.
