Subsume browser support data

[paulirish]

Firebug WG and Axel did great work on exploring current browser support for the Console APIs:

https://github.com/DeveloperToolsWG/console-object#browser-support

In the Firebug WG table there is a lot of excellent detail in the columns on differences.
We want to absorb all current browser support information and detail these small differences (as non-normative text, likely).

+1 great work

There are some additional methods not presently documented here. For instance, Internet Explorer 11 added a select method which, when provided an element reference, will select that element in the DOM Explorer. I've documented the enumerable members of the console in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer in this Google Doc.

The script I tossed together for this purpose follows:

(function () {

    var prop, props = [];

    for ( prop in console ) {
        props.push({ 
            name: prop, 
            type: Object.prototype.toString.call( console[ prop ] )
        });
    }

    props.sort(function( a, b ) {
        return a.name < b.name ? -1 : 1;
    });

    console.log( JSON.stringify( props, null, 4 ) );

}());

@jonathansampson Were you able to find any docs on this? I am not. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh772183(v=vs.85).aspx shows nothing.

Anyone from IE team?

[jonathansampson]

@bkardell There is no documentation for this feature as far as I know. I asked some of the IE team members when I attended the MVP summit this past November. There were other undocumented features, but they didn't survive to a stable release. I cannot say whether select will stick around or not.
