Web Console should have an indicator to mark where reload or navigation occurred in the output area. Spin off from bug 705921.

Attached patch proposed patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This is the proposed patch. Screenshot: http://img.i7m.de/show/drlpt.png Notes and concerns: - the new ConsoleOutput needs to be a weird cross between the current web console code and the new API. I did minimal bits of the proposed API for ConsoleOutput, BaseMessage and NavigationMarker (renamed from ReloadMarker). - filtering, removal, and all of the other aspects related to output are still handled by the main web console code. Tried to keep the patch small. We will move more functionality over to the new APIs in other bugs and patches. - the navigation marker behaves as a kind of a network message, which means it is filtered and pruned in the same way. Ideally, the marker would be a visual indicator of a group of all kinds of messages that happen between different page navigations. One that is not pruned until its last child is pruned, and so on. I did avoid diving into a potential fix for this issue. We need more of the new APIs before we can do this in a good way. We can do it later in bug 655700. Looking forward to your comments. Thank you! Patch queue: bugs 887273, 812618, 877262 then this one.

This patch removes WCF_regroupOutput() which wasn't useful for a long time, thus fixing bug 746871.

For example, from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.14/modules/sdk/core/heritage.html var Pet = Class({ extends: Dog, // should inherit from Dog initialize: function initialize(breed, name) { // To call ancestor methods you will have to access them // explicitly Dog.prototype.initialize.call(this, name); this.breed = breed; }, call: function call(name) { return this.name === name ? this.bark() : ''; } }); In places where you're going to need to call the super method, you can give it a convenient alias. Just sayin', I don't think it's necessary to really wrapper Heritage.extend().

Good point. Better to use what others also use, for consistency. Fix coming in the updated patch.
