Just for the record, Firefox used to do it back before we had a Web IDL 
implementation of console at all.  At the time it was a giant 
injected-into-the-page hack, and the particular way it was injected 
happened to work the way it did.

This should not be construed as me arguing against changing the 
behavior; just a note that it's not as simple as flipping a switch back 
to something we already had at some point.

But I also don't think it would be super-difficult to do...  just a bit 
time-consuming.  So the hard part will be finding someone with the time 
to do it.
