Error handling should support debug levels #32

Closed lammertb closed 7 years ago

lammertb commented 7 years ago

Currently error messages are either logged or discarded. It would be better to sort them in groups like informational, warning, error and failure and switch logging of them on and off with run time settings. Also grouping of errors based on subsystem (socket errors, file errors, general errors, etc) could be possible to give the application further control about the messages they will receive or ignore.
