I'd love to have that, even only on try it would catch a lot of stuff. BTW the problem of errors in JS code not affecting test results in any way is very widespread. We have plenty of tests spewing out actual errors (often only when certain races occur and objects/functions become undefined) that have no visible impact on the test results themselves since they're ignored.
