The spec says "When an algorithm says to “throw a SomethingError” then this
means to construct a new ECMAScript SomethingError object and to throw it, just
as the algorithms in ECMA-262 do."

But you only ever throw a TypeError (or I could not find any other type of
error?). I think it would be better to have all throw TypeError just link
directly to ECMAScript5.
