+1. theLog seems unintuitive to me. It's not like Logger is some 
kind of singleton, the global merely holds the default (!) 
instance.

On a note less related to bikes, could anybody explain to me why 
a name is something natural to a logger? In other words, why does 
it make sense to complicate the entire design with this instead 
of just using either a set (in place of a map) in MultiLogger or 
at least keeping the whole name concept local to it?
