ES2022 adds an `options` parameter to the `Error` constructor. If the
options argument contains a property named `cause`, the property's value
is assigned to a non-enumerable property named `cause` on the newly
created error. The `cause` property is not referenced anywhere else in
the ES2022/2023 specifications. It is for error-formatting software like
`util.inspect()` to consume.

The `cause` property was added in V8 9.3, which was added to Node
16.9.0.

ES2022 adds an `options` parameter to the `Error` constructor. If the
options argument contains a property named `cause`, the property's value
is assigned to a non-enumerable property named `cause` on the newly
created error. The `cause` property is not referenced anywhere else in
the ES2022/2023 specifications. It is for error-formatting software like
`util.inspect()` to consume.

The `cause` property was added in V8 9.3, which was added to Node
16.9.0.
