      Description

        var obj = { };
        obj.foo();


        x.js:2 TypeError: Cannot call undefined


        Instead it'd be a nice debugging feature, if TypeError message looked someting like

        x.js:2 TypeError: Cannot call "foo" that has undefined value

        or even

        x.js:2 TypeError: Cannot call "obj.foo" that has undefined value

        Similar TypeError message improvement on "new" may be done as well.
