Comment (by danielbachhuber):

 > This is basically the equivalent of logging every time a function
 returns false.

 I disagree. Creating a `WP_Error` object is a deliberate decision of the
 developer to report an error upstream. Returning false is for a valid
 condition.

 with creating a message/error logging API.

 Funny enough, I set about doing a similar thing on WordPress.com — track
 instances in which users run into application errors. You might find some
 thread via MGS about it. I didn't end up producing anything because there
 isn't an action in `WP_Error`.

 +1 generally to the idea of adding an action.
