null should be ((e)=>e is TypeError), but dartj2s seems to bypass the type check
and call the constructor directly in some cases.

[herhut, 2015/07/08 08:59:58]

Yes, this happens early on in handleNewSend in the SSABuilder. That code is
wrong and should be fixed.

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2015/07/08 09:03:39]

I'm not sure it's necessarily wrong, it's throwing in all the right places, just
not as informative an error as possible. That's still acceptable.

I won't force dart2js to throw the more precise error if it makes the code
shorter to not do so (and if it would make the code shorter to go through the
constructor, it will probably happen anyway).

Have two versions of each of these:

    new List(x)
    new List(confuse(x))

Can you split the test so that constructor argument errors should be in a
different test file to concurrent modification errors?

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2015/07/07 13:08:02]

I wanted to check for RangeError here, but it seems some parts of dart2js
bypasses the js_array code and throws the JS exception directly (which is
converted to ArgumentError).

See above.
