We might want to recommend against creating JavaScript SyntaxError from web
standards. Per Allen it is solely intended for parse errors of JavaScript. That
it was used for JSON was a mistake and we should probably not give opportunity
to spread it further (so defaulting to DOMException "SyntaxError" is great
already).
