As I recall it, before `caller` was renamed `legacycaller`, there was
some interest in making such APIs for reasons other than documentation
of existing interfaces, and the main reason for the renaming was that
this was somewhat non-idiomatic, unnecessary, unusual, at the time. As
that was some years ago, times may have changed. The alternatives here
are not particularily nice either, like making computedStyle a method
with an optional parameter, or the separate method for pseudo-elements
in David's message.
