Since FF and IE offer window.onerror, why not support it as well? Websites do
use it, even if it is not as useful as a real exception, to find out if the
page encountered an error. Currently WebKit offers no notification, which is
certainly worse than file:line.

If you add a new mechanism that provides an exception that would be great, but
websites would have to implement support for it. Adding window.onerror in
addition would mean sites get the benefit of it right away.
