so window.onerror is not actually an event listener.

It's a callback function.  It does not follow the same signature (or dispatch
rules) as normal EventListener objects.  This is sad, and broken.

I wonder how important it is that we match IE/FF's (broken) syntax here.  How
much of a compat issue would it be if we add window.onerror but that we make it
fire a real event?   Like the Worker error event:
