std.log still works! hehe. std.log is ready for review but
unfortunately it depends on some changes I have made to druntime. I
have tried to get those changes into druntime but they are just
sitting in there as pull requests. I have recently decided to remove
all my druntime changes and just put them in std/log.d instead. I'll
have a revised std.log soon and maybe we can have a review soon.

Thanks,
