Indeed. The whole reason for this vague proposal is being able to log 
exceptions to sentry.

We have now have a prototype of a sentry-aware error reporting utility 
(ERU), that decorates the log records being emitted with sentry-specific 
information.

So, it is still the sentry-aware *log handler* that actually pushes the 
errors to sentry, but the "extra" information useful to sentry is added 
to the log records by the sentry-aware ERU.

I'll try to move this forward a little more, by first getting these 
prototypes I have right now into testing and production in our apps and 
step-by-step move the code to grok (the package) and grokcore.error.
