Basic named error

throw new CustomError('a message')

Advanced error class

function CustomError (customValue) {
  CustomError.super.call(this, 'custom error message')

  this.customValue = customValue
}
makeError(CustomError)

// Feel free to extend the prototype.
CustomError.prototype.myMethod = function CustomError$myMethod () {
  console.log('CustomError.myMethod (%s, %s)', this.code, this.message)
}

//-----

try {
  throw new CustomError(42)
} catch (error) {
  error.myMethod()
}

Specialized error
