Re: [webrtc-pc] RTCPeerConnection constructor can fail - what error to return?

Actually, if the creation fails for lack of resources - it would be pretty useful to know. I open several connections to peers to exchange data (with DataChannels) and it would be useful to know that we should not attempt to re-open the connection if opening it fails.

Specifically, it would be useful if the error described that since resources are exhausted a connection should not be opened again (until other connections are closed). 

If "Lack of resources" means out of memory in this case - I can't do anything useful anyway, but if it means another form of limitation it would be useful to know to not attempt creating another connection.
