The idea is to allow the server to give the application a general way
of logging error messages. Frankly, I don't personally use it at all,
and it was a relic from when I was trying to merge the original WAI
(proposed by Johan) and Hack. Do people have ideas on how to make it
more useful, or perhaps a better name for it? This is probably a good
area for improvement.
