change jsconsole warning message for Sharp Variables

see http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine/browse_thread/thread/4e39d83ad50516a8

currently with about:config
javascript.options.strict = true

we get warning for usage of Sharp Variables
as "Warning: deprecated #1= usage"

instead of "deprecated usage" say "non-portable usage".

Is it possible to configure SM not to create sharp variables to get a source code, that is reusable to create a clone in a new session (after shut down and restart).

Without sharp variables you can't uneval to source that, when eval'ed again, results in an isomorphic object graph.  There's no other way to express cycles and join-points in general.

Sharp variables were removed.
