right, but then we miss the logging on client side. And I guess it's 
okay, but if we want to extend for a debugging functionality then we 
have to re-think and squash it anyway in the protocol implementation. 
I'll come back with this idea later.

About handling errors in the protocol, I think we are not doing bad 
cause most of the output generated is due sanity check from system calls 
(apart from the debug's wl_closure_print).
