        <pre>I spoke with Geoff offline, and he suggested renaming reject() to typeError().  The intuition behind this is that all the clients that uses this function will return typeError(..., shouldThrow, ...).  In a sense, they are returning a &quot;type&quot; of TypeError (which happened to be the value false).  In addition, it may also throw a JS TypeError is the shouldThrow parameter is true.

I think that that name works.  I will go ahead and make the change.</pre>
