 Currently, if writing to a stream fails, the error goes unnoticed by the
 application. This primarily concerns text_file_backend and
 text_multifile_backend. There should be an exception thrown in such cases,
 preferably containing the cause of failure, which is not currently
 provided by the underlying stream. Also, some failures tend to happen
 repeatedly over prolonged time (e.g. when there is no free space left on
 the filesystem), and the library should not spam the application with
 exceptions in such cases.
