--- Comment #17 from Yutaka Hirano <yhirano@google.com> ---
> In particular, if an API is called with bad arguments, then the exception should throw immediately, just like if it's name was typoed. The behaviour of:

> ...should be the same as the behaviour of:
>
>   foo.baz(1); // there's no "baz" method, it's called "bar"
Is the rule applied recursively?
For example, imagine we provide a Promise-returning function foo and it uses
another function bar.

function foo(x, y) {
  if (typeof x !== 'number) { throw TypeError('x must be a number'); }
  bar(-x, y);
  return new Promise(...);
}

Should we enclose bar with try-catch?
