That arose out of a project that we are working on where it is 
convenient to be able to integrate with std.experimental.logger.  
Internal work that has been opensourced, rather than written with 
the primary target of open source, and if we had more time I 
would have suggested basing off Adil's work.  As it is, it was 
just a write from scratch by Ilya.  I thank Adil for making me 
aware of Graylog and Gelf format, as I wouldn't have known about 
it otherwise.

Main benefit for us is to be able to reap the benefits of 
std.experimental.logger - very easy to switch logging source, and 
I think runtime cost of trace statements should be zero if turned 
off.  Little fiddly state machines with a few things that need to 
be ironed out that only show up now and then, so writeflns and 
debugging in an IDE don't cut it.

Graylog is a bit of a monster that uses Mongo, elasticsearch and 
who knows what else - for some things might be easier to use the 
Gelf format with a D back end.  But it's a very nice way to think 
about the problem.
