// Package log4go provides level-based and highly configurable logging.
//
// Enhanced Logging
//
// This is inspired by the logging functionality in Java. Essentially, you create a Logger
// object and create output filters for it. You can send whatever you want to the Logger,
// and it will filter that based on your settings and send it to the outputs. This way, you
// can put as much debug code in your program as you want, and when you're done you can filter
// out the mundane messages so only the important ones show up.
//
// Utility functions are provided to make life easier. Here is some example code to get started:
//
// log := log4go.NewLogger()
// log.AddFilter("stdout", log4go.DEBUG, log4go.NewConsoleLogWriter())
// log.AddFilter("log", log4go.FINE, log4go.NewFileLogWriter("example.log", true))
// log.Info("The time is now: %s", time.LocalTime().Format("15:04:05 MST 2006/01/02"))
//
// The first two lines can be combined with the utility NewDefaultLogger:
//
// log := log4go.NewDefaultLogger(log4go.DEBUG)
// log.AddFilter("log", log4go.FINE, log4go.NewFileLogWriter("example.log", true))
// log.Info("The time is now: %s", time.LocalTime().Format("15:04:05 MST 2006/01/02"))
//
// Usage notes:
// - The ConsoleLogWriter does not display the source of the message to standard
// output, but the FileLogWriter does.
// - The utility functions (Info, Debug, Warn, etc) derive their source from the
// calling function, and this incurs extra overhead.
//
// Changes from 2.0:
// - The external interface has remained mostly stable, but a lot of the
// internals have been changed, so if you depended on any of this or created
// your own LogWriter, then you will probably have to update your code. In
// particular, Logger is now a map and ConsoleLogWriter is now a channel
// behind-the-scenes, and the LogWrite method no longer has return values.
//
// Future work: (please let me know if you think I should work on any of these particularly)
// - Log file rotation
// - Logging configuration files ala log4j
// - Have the ability to remove filters?
// - Have GetInfoChannel, GetDebugChannel, etc return a chan string that allows
// for another method of logging
// - Add an XML filter type
