Mozillians, why did you add this extra information?

Looks like it was added in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332176

Before that, the stack claimed the url of the caller of eval() but a line number which was the sum of the line number of the eval() call itself and the line number of the code throwing the exception inside the eval string, I believe, or some such insanity.

There's a lot of noise there in the discussion, but I think the key recent part is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332176#c40 which summarizes what I think we implemented. Note that per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332176#c42 we do something similar for new Function() as well, so you can get a stack trace like so:

anonymous@http://example.com line 3 > Function:1:1 @http://example.com:3:5

for a testcase like this:

<script>
  try {
    new Function("throw new Error()")();
  } catch (e) {
    document.write(e.stack);
  }
</script>
