Cannot use the NullHandler with XML configuration

[stof]

It is not treated as an empty string, but as null

[v1nc3n4]

Yes indeed.

[Seldaek]

I don't know if we can do much about this, given XML is string only it will always be normalized after..

[v1nc3n4]

What about changing the key for the NullHandler or renaming it? for instance:

<monolog:config>
    <monolog:handler name="nolog_handler" type="nolog" />
</monolog:config>

[Seldaek]

I'd rather not change it but maybe we can have an alias as workaround for xml.

[jaymecd]

what about BlackHole? faced same issue today.

[lyrixx]

I would go with null_handler to keep the same semantics.
Do someone want to submit a PR?

[gggeek]

null_handler is fine with me, but the fact that the handler never bubbles makes it in fact behave more similar to what I'd expect from a "black hole" (see #399 for more about this issue)
