We need to hammer out how this will work inside libraries.  If my app is 
using multiple libraries I need to know I have full control of how they 
log and where (), and if I write libraries I need to include logging that 
will not affect performance or added dependencies.

I like the idea of a standard interface for D logging.  Other logging 
implementations should be able to plug into the interface without having 
to inherit from std.log.Logger (single inheritance issue).

I would like to see conditional logging as part of the interface, or in 
the documentation show how we can achieve that with stdlib in a clean and 
simple way.

Logger should include a shared Logger, or include it in the interface for 
outside libraries to handle the implementation.  There will be libraries 
that thread internally and will need to support shared logging.

Awesome work so far. Getting this "right" is I huge pain, and I applaud 
you going through this.
