Nothing.  js_ErrorToException is not an API, it's a function internal to 
the engine.

Sorry, I didn't see what you want: you want a way to report errors of 
your own number and (localizable) message string, and have them turn 
into exceptions.  It seems that the errors-as-exceptions design in the 
engine doesn't support that.  Can you file a bug?  Thanks,
