Description Ross Kirsling 2020-04-10 18:10:54 PDT

There are many places throughout our Intl API implementation in which ICU could have an internal failure.

JSC currently throws a JS error with a different message in each of these cases, but it might be better to have a single kind of error for all of them, like V8 and SM:
https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/src/common/message-template.h#L25
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/js.msg#536

Oh, I was thinking of having one repo of all our failure strings so they're consistent.

Oh that's even more ambitious! I like it.
