        @brief OutputManager acts as the center of the output system and is implemented as a singleton.

        All instances of OutputStream (and hence also the orxout() function)
        send their buffered output to OutputManager. OutputManager then
        distributes this output to all registered instances of OutputListener.

        For each listener OutputManager checks if it wants to receive output
        with the given level and context. OutputManager itself also maintains
        masks that define the accepted levels and concept. They are a
        combination of the masks of all output listeners. See the description
        of OutputListener for a more conclusive description of these masks.

        Additionally OutputManager is used to register output contexts.
