[webkit-dev] JSC: Callback functions returning exception, what should be the JSValueRef return?

When I define a callback function (JSObjectCallAsFunctionCallback), and 
I have it thrown an exception, what should be the return value?  The 
documentation says:

"A JSObject that is the constructor's return value"

... but the other side -- JSObjectCallAsFunction -- states:

"The JSValue that results from calling object as a function, or NULL if 
an exception is thrown or object is not a function."

So should I also be returning NULL from my callback functions if I'm 
throwing an exception?  If so, you should probably improve the 
documentation there.
