I agree on the baking part, since it will allow time for any drawbacks to be
spotted or better solutions found. There are also the questions of what level
and format to use for the handler of last resort, before it can actually be
implemented.

Is this for use at the C level? At the Python level, there's a post I wrote a
while back which shows how to use a logger like an output stream:
