Cool. Are Syntax Error messages likely to be the same between JSC and V8
or could there be platform specific results?

The lack of space between "1" and "SyntaxError" looks strange. Is that a bug (obviously not from this patch though)?

In this patch I'm providing VM-specific results. There is a long discussion of the error message differences between JSC and V8 and it was agreed that they should eventually converge. There is a bug for that problem: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42181

It's just a textContent of a DOM element representing the message in Web Inspector UI. Although there is no space in the text dump, there is one in the DOM UI and the message there looks nice. I don't thing we need to fix the text output since it's used only in the tests and it already gives a clear view of the logged message text.
