formatter
(with MSGID and STRUCTURED-DATA fields set according to the will
of my corporate masters) I want to resuse it in both the
FileLogger and a future TcpLogger without having to use
inheritance. Your "line format" formatter in FileLogger is a
good
default formatter though.
I second what Kalle Svensson is saying.
My belief is that when there are many log levels, people don't
use them as intended or only use a subset of them, often a
combination.
