More exceptions targetted at library users about base2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Throwing specific exceptions, will aid users. 

For example: instead of "Duplicate key." (Collection.add), specify the 
duplicate key,
like: "Key %1 is duplicate".

Can you provide some more examples of the kinds of places that I should put 
assertions?

I have to think about this (I can't think of a concrete example).

But when creating an object without enough arguments, fire-fox gives you very 
scary exceptions. And because 
of that, checking the arguments is not the first thing someone (at least 
myself) would check first.

I've decided not to add more exceptions. Checking arguments and throwing 
exceptions
is expensive in JavaScript. I will instead create a plugin that does more 
ruthless
validation.
