> Currently, when instantiating a logger by name instead of by object (such as
> when not in the scope of an object e.g. a top-level function), one has to use
> `namedLogger(name)`. This is not very discoverable -- the user will simply
> get a "not found" error on `logger`, with no hints or IDE feedback on what to
> do or why `logger` cannot be found.
> A better approach is to rename the `namedLogger` function to simply `logger`.
> When it is called within an Object without a parameter, the extension
> function will be used. When it is called with a parameter, whether inside or
> out, the named logger will be created. This is discoverable as the user's IDE
> will prompt for the missing `name` parameter when used from a top-level
> function, as in this scope only the named function is valid.
