Description David Dorwin 2015-12-10 21:30:33 UTC 
https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-exceptions provides guidance/examples on creating and throwing exceptions, including shorthand like "Throw an IndexSizeError." It should include similar guidance/examples for rejecting promises.

In addition, `reject` should be defined and linkable like `throw`.

This was originally discussed in https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/122#issuecomment-163082590. See also the reply from Domenic.

This may be related to bug 21740, though that seems outdated.
