Hmm, interesting. So window.onerror isn't an event handler at all, it's 
just a reference to a function that takes three arguments, and returns 
false or no value to specify that the error handling should continue as 
normal, and returns true to indicate that error handling should be 
stopped. Ok, added. Thanks for the reference.
