/** @class ErrorHandler
 * @brief Error reporting class.
 *
 * Click elements report errors through ErrorHandler objects, which represent
 * error collectors and printers.  ErrorHandlers are passed to configure() and
 * initialize() methods explicitly, as well as to write handlers; the
 * click_chatter() function calls ErrorHandler implicitly.
 *
 * <h3>Cooked error messages</h3>
 *
 * Most ErrorHandler interactions consist of a simple call like this:
 * @code
 * errh->error("not enough arguments (%d needed)", 5);
 *     // prints something like "not enough arguments (5 needed)\n"
 * @endcode
 *
 * This function constructs an error message string from the format arguments,
 * annotates the string with a default error level (here, el_error), and
 * prints it.  Alternate versions take a landmark specifying where the error
 * took place:
 * @code
 * errh->lwarning("file.click:2", "syntax error at '%s'", word.c_str());
 *     // prints something like "file.click:2: syntax error at 'foo'\n"
 * @endcode
 *
 * <h3>Raw error messages</h3>
 *
 * For finer control over error levels and annotations, construct an error
 * message string directly.  An error message is a string consisting of one or
 * more lines.  Each line begins with a set of optional textual @em
 * annotations.  The following error message has a @em level annotation
 * determining how serious the error is (this one is critical, since
 * el_critical == 2), and a @em landmark annotation, which specifies where the
 * error took place (here, "x.click:1"):
 *
 * <tt>"<2>{l:x.click:1}syntax error"</tt>
 *
 * Click's default ErrorHandlers understand the level and landmark
 * annotations.  Users can add other arbitrary annotations, which can be
 * useful to pass error metadata.  A pair of braces ends the annotation area.
 * This example has one user annotation <tt>eoc</tt>, and a message area that
 * would be mistaken for an annotation were it not for the <tt>{}</tt>:
 *
 * <tt>"<2>{l:x.click:1}{eoc:520}{}{not:an annotation}"</tt>
 *
 * <h3>Stacking handlers</h3>
 *
 * Some ErrorHandlers stack on top of others, adding useful functionality like
 * automatic context description and prefixing.  For example,
 * ContextErrorHandler can be used to print messages like "In function
 * 'xxx':".
 * @code
 * FileErrorHandler errh1(stderr);
 * ContextErrorHandler errh2(&errh1, "While counting to 2:");
 * errh2.error("An error occurred.");
 * errh2.error("Another error occurred.");
 *     // prints "While counting to 2:\n"
 *     //        "  An error occurred.\n"
 *     //        "  Another error occurred.\n"
 * @endcode */
