Yeah, I agree. I guess my point is more that when we have an unrecoverable
error we need to stop running the current script and possibly clean up the 
context.
However I really think we shouldn't allow js to kill the entire browser,
particularly if we want to get more people to use it.

Is there a way of killing the current script and then moving on to the next one?
The docs said something about throwing an uncatchable error within a c function?

Cheers,
Adam.
