Normally we use the typedef ExceptionCode so we don't have to name exception code arguments. Please do that whenever practical.

All the uses of int are in the Chromium WebKit API.  I suppose maybe we should add a WebExceptionCode class there, but I also don't see a huge advantage to doing so.

+ fishd in case we think it's a good idea to do so.

I'm surprised that ExceptionCode is part of the Chromium WebKit API. It's an implementation detail we've often changed around in the past and not something particularly stable, so not great for API. But anyway, not on point for this patch.

Did you mean you're surprised it's not?

Anyway, I guess you're right that it is an implementation detail that should probably be abstracted away by an API.  I'll look into changing this, unless you have an objection, fishd.

I am surprised that WebCore's internal representation of DOM exceptions is a part of the API. Not the ExceptionCode typedef, which, as you say, is not.
