At my workplace we're using Google's logging library glog

more I use it, the more I like it. It's simple, to the point, and
effective.
I was thinking it would be great to adapt a similar design into
Phobos. There will be differences such as use of regular argument
lists instead of << etc., but the spirit will be similar. What do you

Ok, I'm going to get flamed for this, but,
I don't get it
I do logging all the time. It's usually customized to the particular
problem I'm trying to solve, so it involves uncommenting the right
printf's and then running it. Voila. Done.
The logging libraries I've seen usually required more time spent
installing the package, getting it to compile,
include std.logging; // done
reading the documentation,
If it's done well, one page of exampls will get 90% of the people going.
finding out it doesn't work,
That would be a bug.
Even worse, the logging libraries are loaded with a grab bag of
trivial features to try and puff it up into looking impressive.
That lib isn't and what we do dosn't need to be.
