If you care about that 9 times out of 10 you are failing to use an RAII
class when you should be.

Since we seem to be voting now, I am moderately opposed to making XPCOM
method calls more boilerplate-y, and very opposed to removing
NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS without some sort of easy shorthand to test an nsresult
and print to the console if it is a failure.  I know for sure that some of
the other DOM peers (smaug and bz come to mind) feel similarly about the
latter.
