JS Exceptions would be nice, at least in this case for spec
compliance. However I don't think you can currently do that in
QJSEngine, another one of those limitations we'd like to fix in the
long term.

For now I recommend having an "Error" status and an invokable function
to get the error string (or a string property), just like
QQmlComponent. That works well with QML, even though it does diverge
from the WebSocket spec.
