// We call into user code in many places, and it's nice to catch exceptions
// propagated from user code immediately so that the whole system doesn't just
// break.  Catching exceptions is easy; reporting them is hard.  This helper
// reports exceptions.
//
// Usage:
//
// ```
// try {
//   // ... someStuff ...
// } catch (e) {
//   reportUIException(e);
// }
// ```
//
// An optional second argument overrides the default message.

// Set this to `true` to cause `reportException` to throw
// the next exception rather than reporting it.  This is
// useful in unit tests that test error messages.
