Such logic doesn't apply to vocabularies.
According to my vocabulary, a logger is something that logs.

about irater, and messer sounds like a German word.
Yah but the log object, i.e. the thing you log things in (the
paper
log on a ship etc) is "a log", not "a logger". A "logger"
would be the
person writing into the log.
So the appropriate name for the default log object is
"defaultLog" not
"defaultLogger", or "stdlog" not "stdlogger". The better
choice is
also shorter.

Even shorter would be "log".
That would be better than enabling
log.info(...);
via the already proposed
import log = std.logger;
The only obstacle is the current "log" function.
But do we really need the free log functions? For UFCS?
Otherwise
alias info = log.info;
would do the trick.
But here we're discussing the name of the default log object...

Yes: most of the time I should be happy with the default log
object.
Call it "log" and the uses look great:
log.error("something went wrong");
