Why can't they do the shim approach while the library loads though?

Google Analytics for example lets you push everything you want to record into a plain global array called "ga", and when the library loads, everything in the array in processed by the library. This lets you start capturing events without waiting for the library to load.

it's a bit different though, you can't "push" errors somewhere, I guess so many error handlers and interceptors are set that it's not worth to split.

Why? Can't you push the Error object or stack trace into an array to await processing?

What if the thing that is pushing the error object has an error?
