Why is everyone that contribute with a std.log implementation keep 
insisting that it should be configured via command line options? This is 
not how a library should be configured, it should be configured via 
regular methods like the rest of Phobos. If an application wants to set 
logging options via the command line then that's up to the application 
to implement.

I don't like the abbreviations, "vlog" and "dfatal". I first thought you 
had an error in the documentation when I saw "fatal" and "dfatal". I 
would suggest "verbose" and "debugFatal", it's clear what they mean and 
it's consistent with how the other logging levels are named. There's 
always the option to alias a method for the users.
