I think such stuff should go as an extra module in same package 
with various useful out-of-the box logger implementations at the 
very best. Probably even dub package built on top of std.logger;

Phobos has very specific general design I like a lot - 
self-contained modules/packages with zero external dependencies 
(please kill std.net.curl!), which do work by simply importing 
certain modules. No extra configuration, no creation of weird 
useless classes - just reasonable defaults that work as-is in 
most cases.

In that sense what is 100% needed is enhancing current API so 
that it may allow more fine grained tweaking of loggers (addition 
of module info, providing built-in multiplexing logger). There 
should be no temptation to build own stuff with own API because 
you can't write own logger that fits standard one.

But actual batteries - no, this does belong to Phobos.
