Okay, so will take any encoding errors stored in the state when 
finishing the directory in the `finish` calls and set a finished flag, 
and add a check in the `EncoderState`s `Drop` implementation if all the 
errors have been correctly passed along to the parent state (none 
present anymore) and the finished flag is set. Requires however to panic 
if that is not the case.
