So how come groupCollapsed() isn't in the docs? It's extremely useful,
and besides the fact that more people should know about it, I'm seeing
other applications mimicking the Firebug API pretty closely (Safari 4
seems to support the _whole console API_) and so the docs at
http://getfirebug.com/console.html are becoming a _de facto_ standard.
That's pretty awesome in itself, but now I don't get to use
groupCollapsed and have it work as well in other places (i.e. I can
set console.groupCollapsed = console.group but I have to endure all
the console spam).

(Speaking of standards, is there any thought of making the console API
a formalish Web standard, sort of a DOM extension?)

Luke, write the documentation and post it to our bug list and we will
update the page.

The next step for standard console api would be a detailed
specification organized around an equally detailed test suite. I
encourage users who want to improve cross browser debugging to take up
that work.
