Details

There doesn't appear to be any way to write arbitrary text to stderr from the bare Javascript shell, or even from xpcshell (i.e. I can't find a Components thing that does it either).  This would be nice for better error reporting in Javascript test libraries.
This is very easy to accomplish, you can model your work off of the print (in C, "Print") function that already exists.  Let me know if I can offer hints.
