Appenders may delegate their error handling to ErrorHandlers.
TODO if the appender interface is simplified, then error handling could just be done by wrapping
 a nested appender. (RG) Please look at DefaultErrorHandler. It's purpose is to make sure the console
or error log isn't flooded with messages. I'm still considering the Appender refactoring.
