There are several modules in the review queue right now, and to
get things going, I have volunteered to manage the review of
Jose's std.log proposal. Barring any objections, the review
period starts now and ends in three weeks, on March 6th,
followed by a week of voting.

Earlier drafts of this library were discussed last year, just
search the NG and ML archives for "std.log".
I think getting this right is vitally important so that we can
avoid an abundance of partly incompatible logging libraries
like in Java. Thus, I'd warmly encourage everyone to actively
try out the module or compare it with any logging solution you
might already be using in your project.
Please post all feedback in this thread, and remember: Although
comprehensive reviews are obviously appreciated, short comments
are very welcome as well!

Good work.
One suggestion. Instantiating a template for each log rather
verbose for such common thing. I suggest:
(Just to demonstrate)
alias global_logger!sev_info info;
alias global_logger!sev_warning warning;
alias global_logger!sev_error error;
alias global_logger!sev_critical critical;
alias global_logger!sev_dfatal dfatal;
alias global_logger!sev_fatal fatal;
As we are pulling severity levels to global namespace anyway,
this will save us some verbosity and the keyword "log".
