Stack traces, line numbers, etc. All the approaches I've seen are bad hacks. This is the best way to go.

Throwing strings is bad because it doesn't include a lot of important
information that an error object does, such as a stack trace or where
the error was actually thrown from.
ve.Error inherits directly from Error. In the future we may create
more specific subclasses and/or do custom stuff.
Some interesting reading on the subject:

Also:
* Removed a lot of dead code in Surface that was used in the now dead and gone sandbox.
* Changed from throwing an exception when calling getBalancedData on a range that produces no results from selectNodes to just returning []

This license change is aimed at maximizing the reusability of this code
in other projects. VisualEditor is more than just an awesome editor for
MediaWiki, it's the new editor for the entire internet.
Added license and author files, plus mentions of the license to all
VisualEditor PHP, JavaScript and CSS files. Parser files have not been
modified but are effectively re-licensed since there's no overriding
license information. 3rd party libraries are not changed, but are all
already MIT licensed.

* "onevar" warning sometimes solved by just merging var statements
other times solved by making it a function declaration instead
of a function expression.
* Also fixed several '_this' variable names in ve.es.Surface to
more descriptive names, and enabled warnings for dangling _
in identifiers.
