Well, it doesn't really matter much as a logger class wouldn't 
have very much in it anyway. But I am imagining some kind of 
uber-huge class might be used for some reason in other ways and 
it would be interesting to know if it would be cut out completely 
by the compiler or not.

WHO TOLD YOU!?

Er, I mean, gee-whilikers, why would you think that? I am a 
perfectly normal human. Yessiree, human hands an evryting. no 
annoyingly fat paws that make it hard to type.
