ln() for log(:base(e)) is fine. ln() for log to any other base is
Just Plain Wrong.
The clash between 'log' for 'logarithm' and 'log' for 'write to log
file' is unfortunate, but since you have to define logging parameters
somewhere anyway, I'm OK with having to call that sort of log as a
method on a logger object instead of as a top-level sub.
All's fair if you predeclare, so you could use MMD to define log(Str)
as a shortcut for writing to the log, but that's going to surprise
folks who are used to log('1') returning 0.
