Yes, I have (I work on the Firefox devtools). The best we can do (as

Note that this is what Firefox does right now, but we're moving away
from that to a "report if the event loop starts spinning while a promise
with an unhandled rejection is live" and "withdrawing" the report
somehow if it then gets handled.

Note also Domenic's proposal at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2014Sep/0024.html
in terms of production. It does involve a bit more work on the part of
sites that want to usefully do telemetry for this, of course.
Also makes it harder for tests, because I don't think we've standardized an
onUncaughtPromiseException, and if we have, it's GC-sensitive.
Domenic's proposal above is such a thing, and not GC-sensitive.
Now it does have the false positive problem you mention later in this
thread, of course.
All of this is not directly related to async/await, except insofar as
those are built on top of Promise.
