/*! Logging library.
*
* This is probably the only part of squeekboard
* that should be doing any direct printing.
*
* There are several approaches to logging,
* in the order of increasing flexibility and/or purity:
*
* 1. `println!` directly
*
* It can't be easily replaced by a different solution
*
* 2. simple `log!` macro
*
* Replacing the destination at runtime other than globally would be awkward,
* so no easy way to suppress errors for things that don't matter,
* but formatting is still easy.
*
* 3. logging to a mutable destination type
*
* Can be easily replaced, but logging `Result` types,
* which should be done by calling a method on the result,
* can't be formatted directly.
* Cannot be parallelized.
*
* 4. logging to an immutable destination type
*
* Same as above, except it can be parallelized.
* It seems more difficult to pass the logger around,
* but this may be a solved problem from the area of functional programming.
*
* This library generally aims at the approach in 3.
