chrome.experimental.devtools.console not exposed when flag is enabled

Reported by theandre...@gmail.com, Apr 10 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2700.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Download/Install Dev Channel release
2. Visit chrome://flags and enable "Experimental Extension APIs"
3. Restart Chrome
4. Visit chrome://extensions, and load the example unpacked extension (attached)
5. Open DevTools

What is the expected behavior?
"This will not work" should be logged to the console

What went wrong?
An exception is thrown when attempting to invoke "chrome.experimental.devtools.console.addMessage('Debug', 'This will not work')". The "console" object does not exist as a property of "chrome.experimental.devtools."

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2700.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I verified experimental features were enabled by validating that the "audit" object does exist on "chrome.experimental.devtools".

Comment 4 by caseq@chromium.org, Jul 29 2016

Status: Fixed (was: Assigned)
This is by design -- we nuked extension console API some time ago. Addressed by removing documentation as well.
If you need to emit messages to DevTools console, the wrokaround is to evaluate calls to console.{log,warn,error} in the inspected page.
