    @brief
        The OutputHandler acts like std::cout, but output isn't only shown in the console.

        You can register your own listener for output by inheriting from OutputListner.
        And if you need the output previously processed, iterate over it with
        OutputHandler::getOutputVector[Begin/End].
        The way to output text is to first set the desired output level with
        OutputHandler::getOutStream(level) and then use the "<<" operator like with std::cout.
