Just curious: do you have any particular parts of #1 in mind that could
be simplified?

equivalent functionality.
The main thing needed to get this into ES7 is a champion who will put
in the time needed. That ain't me, but I'd be happy to help.
Btw, if I were looking to drop something from the list, I'd look first
to simplify #1.

Interesting sourcemap usage. But is there any hope for standardization
of the existing stack handling for ES7? It wasn't clear to me why it
stalled for ES6. There a few things I would like to see:
1) standardization V8's Error.captureStackTrace API
2) standardization of the stack format
3) standardizaton of when the stack is added to the Error object
(creation vs throw)
4) specification as to whether throw (and re-throw) overwrite any
existing stack property
More would be welcome but that is what I would actually have an
immediate use for.

actual API.
I know there was some initial work in this area and nothing is likely
to happen in the ES6 time frame but can something to be done to make
the stacks traces more usable?
Take a look at the work Erik Arvidsson has done so far:
