 Error objects have following properties:
 
 - `message` -- the human-readable error message.
 - `name` -- the string with error name (error constructor name).
-- `stack` (non-standard) -- the stack at the moment of error creation.
+- `stack` (non-standard, but well-supported) -- the stack at the moment of error creation.
 
 If an error object is not needed, we can omit it by using `catch {` instead of `catch(err) {`.
 
 We can also generate our own errors using the `throw` operator. Technically, the argument of `throw` can be anything, but usually it's an error object inheriting from the built-in `Error` class. More on extending errors in the next chapter.
 
-Rethrowing is a basic pattern of error handling: a `catch` block usually expects and knows how to handle the particular error type, so it should rethrow errors it doesn't know.

 Even if we don't have `try..catch`, most environments allow to setup a "global" error handler to catch errors that "fall out". In-browser that's `window.onerror`.
