Totally disagree. We need a powerful logger, not only file logger.
I can implement a file logger myself for a few hours, and it will 
cover 90% of my needs. For other 10% I would like to have a 
standart logger with advanced features like speed and reliability.

If you need help, please tell us. For example, jkm already 
implemented syslog for Vibe.d with support files (via file 
streams) and the network (via TCP or SSL streams):
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/pull/294
It's under the MIT license, that similar to the Boost license.

Sönke Ludwig, can you allow to use syslog code for `std.logger` 
under the Boost license? Robert Schadek can use it as initial 
point.
