We originally didn't extend from
Error
anymore because its fields are of no real value to us, and has problems with serialization in a worker context.Turns out this was a mistake, because various build tools rely on errors being thrown as something that extends Error, else they try to wrap it in their own error.
We therefore revert that change while still trying to preserve most of the advantages of not extending
Error
, namely nuking the useless stack trace and making sure the message is enumerable.
