Description

I am not a big fan of getters throwing errors, as that's an unexpected behaviour for a getter.

At the same time, I am not sure what would be the correct result to return form a consumed sandbox, maybe false? maybe null? but I guess returning null is not too different from throwing.

I propose we leave it as it is right now, and we get someone with more JS API design experience to take a look into it. I'll open an issue so that we don't forget about it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the JavaScript API's sandbox getters and the discussion linked from pull request #69. Determine the expected behavior when a sandbox has been consumed, then document the chosen API behavior and add or update the relevant tests if the project identifies them.
