[DOM4] Constructor for DOMException?

Hi, I'm currently trying to implement a spec using ECMAScript. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of DOMExceptions that can't be thrown cleanly because there is no way to instantiate a DOMException through ECMAScript (new DOMException(...) returns a "TypeError: Illegal constructor" in browsers).
