Comment (by carlalexander):

 > My point was more that it could be totally intentional to have multiple
 `WP_Error`s created in a single call to WP. In some of the services I
 maintain, an individual request might have 20 error objects created as-is,
 it's no different to returning `false` or `null` from a callback (except
 that you can have extra data). We don't log every time we return null.

 No, you're right. That's why I mentioned that one issue is that `WP_Error`
 doesn't carry any weight. Out of those 20 objects some could be relevant.
 That's the larger issue with the `WP_Error` class design. You need a way
 to filter the noise.
