Comment:

 A use for this has come up again on WP.com - I think
 [attachment:28319.4.diff] is a reasonable method for allowing external
 access to all errors, at least until we can put proper error logging in
 place.

 > In addition, there's the possibility for a DoS attack using it if errors
 are logged to a DB.

 It's possible to write code that will do a lot worse with pretty much
 everything everywhere in core. This is not a reason to close.
